It's easy to know what it looks like for those that we cherish and who return our kindness and affection back to us. But what does it look like to love your neighbor, and to love your enemy?
I've watched some here show patience to those who are hard to understand. And in the threads they start, though it is hard to understand a lively and kind conversation comes out of it. As if the OP was writting in riddles to figure out. Here in these round I've found a header of love that I need to know better and to strengthen in.
I've seen love in welcoming and accepting people who struggle with an issue. Though sometimes the issue they struggle with becomes it's own focus to point at and condemn, there is still the people that encourage and uplift them. Loving them as their brothers and sisters in faith instead of a piece of a heated debate. Because of this I've been colored for such struggles and debates, and want to follow suit in metro ring that model of kindness. Again something I've seen from these forums.
I've seen love from other families. Their version of patience and together on the same team kind of thing. It surprised me a bit, and not always do I agree with it. None the less, I can recoginize it as being loving trying to be there for the other person.
There are many models to look after for how we should love. To be patient instead of always correcting someone. To look out for each other (which sometimes still includes correcting them). To knowing what needs need to be met and seek out to meet them, like many people do when someone is out of a hospital or morning a loss, they deliver meals easy to bake or eat right away, or they help in some other need.
If anyone has anything to offer. I think somethimes we need examples of what it looks like to be loving. So we don't conform to the coldness of the world. Thanks in advance.
