Love difficult people?

[soldier of light]

How do we love difficult people? For one thing, we can make sure that we are not difficult ourselves. Look for ways to unify and edify in God's truth and not man's theology or politics. The most difficult people are seen in politics and religion. What's my answer? Just preach the simple commands of the Lord and love each other, and keep it that simple. That's what people need. And yes, I myself was once very difficult.

If Jesus loves someone, we remain abiding in Jesus , doing and living as ABBA YAHWEH says, and doing what is best for them. "Doing" being a key - "loving" is not a feeling, but is obedience to God.

Joy is a feeling that might come from love. But I agree that love is a work we do as you describe. I'm not disagreeing with that.
