I was talking to one of the girls in the youth group, and she was telling me about how she tries so hard to be nice to a girl but the girl just doesn't like in her return. It made me start thinking.

John 13:34 says, "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another."

We are called to love. Not just our friends, but also our enemies. In other words, we're not supposed to love people just so we can get loved back. We are called to love to be obedient to Christ. That is all we can do. For those people that just might not like our personalities or that we may have hurt in the past - just love them. Continue to show them the love of Christ. That is enough. There's nothing else we can do. This is something that we can rest in. It may or may not effect the relationship with that person. Yet, we can rest in the fact that we are being obedient to our Lord - Adonai.
