Loving your fellow christian and neighbour, the hardest job

[Curiousmind]

Hi,

So imo the hardest job as a christian is to love your neighbour and fellow christian.
Thing is we sometimes want our circle of friends to be small, we select our circle of friends, we dont want to deal with some people sometimes.
Is not that we hate them, thing is the difference could be to many or great that we don't have the energy and patience to deal with some people.
Our love is imperfect, we are only human. God's love is perfect, Jesus love is perfect that is why he could deal with all types of people.

Br,

What about John 13:34-35. Love one another AS I have loved you. "AS" means in the same manner. Would he say to do this if it were not possible? "By this the whole world will know you are my disciples, if you love one another." So currently the whole world does not know we are his disciples....... It must mean and point to the very raw diffuclt reality that our love for one another needs to grow. (Phillipians 1:9)
