Well I know what Jesus would do. Knowing is the easy part. It's all in the Bible. Pick it up, read it. Thats the easy part. Man it's hard to actually do it. To really put yourself second. To serve people and not be hurt when even though they are your friends they don't have time for you. God is like that. He is always there no matter how crappy we treat Him over and over and over again. We are supposed to be like Him. Man thats hard!!! We are supposed to love each other and serve God by serving each other. We are supposed to take the grace and patients and selfless love He gives to us and give it unconditionally to each other. Man that's hard. When the one you love the most loves everyone else more than you. When they even love people they don't know more than you. They say they love you but they only love you in words never in action. They love you when other people are looking but never when it's just you. But still no matter who is looking and no matter how busy you are you still love them. It really really hurts to love people who don't love you back. Jesus loves us. It hurt Him to love us. It still hurts Him. He still loves us. Even if we hide in a closet and no one can see, He comes in and loves us in our closet -- while we are still hurting Him. I want to love people like Jesus loves me. Ok, I want to - want to love people like Jesus loves me but even as I say that I say "but it hurts!!!" Do I really want to be hurt? Cause to really love them like He loves me is to put aside the hurt, no matter how much it hurts and to not let the hurt slow down my love and service to them. To really love Jesus is to really selflessly love those who hurt me. Like He does. Man that's hard.
Jesus, thank you for loving me...even when I make it really hard. Please help me love. Please show me how to love them even more when it hurts.
