Love the Unlovely
What do you suppose your emotional response would be to someone who spoke a well-positioned lie that caused you to lose your career? What if this same person degraded you in front of all the people important to you? You know what your response would be; however, Jesus demonstrated what it should be.
What if it were not quite so dramatic? What if this offending person was deeply insecure and had some personality flaws that really got on your nerves? You know what your response would be; yet Jesus demonstrated what it should be.
What if this person had a lack of social graces that put him outside the “in-crowd”? You know what your response would be. Jesus demonstrated what it should be.
Do we love the “un-lovely”? Do we serve those ignored by the rest of the world? Do the disenfranchised have a franchise in our hearts?
May we become like Jesus who would have us lose our current response pattern and develop one like His.
