Because I have realized how hard it is to be gracious towards others when they hurt me and love them unconditionally, it makes me ponder and stand in awe of the wondrous cross. I am amazed of His great love that covers my multitude of hurts, rejections and distress towards Him, and I am curious of why, why, why He died for me. What good dwells in my heart that He so saw that made Him want to sacrifice His all for me? What is it, of my worthless being, stood out to Him that He saw worthy? Why is it so difficult for me to emulate His same love towards others and why am I unable to?
Christ, may You dwell in my heart only, and renew my incapable heart. May You crush my pride and my heart into a million pieces, and build it up again with the foundation of Your love so that I may love others as well. Show me how to love the arrogant, the prideful, the abusers, and the “unlovable”.
And overall, thank You for revealing this to me. Loving others can be so difficult and I wonder how You do it.
