A friend wrote the following message, âI feel guilty that I find it difficult to love some people. I also think that tyrannical leaders who brutalize and repress their people do not deserve to be loved. I know that Jesus and God have instructed us to love everyone and to consider them brothers and sisters, but I sometimes find it hard.â I have talked with several people who have expressed similar thoughts. It can be hard to trust and love the people who are abusive. Even though we know that people with hate in their hearts probably will not change, we should love them. As people of goodwill and faith, we should continue to hold kind thoughts and offer helpful words and actions. If we are faithful, we will grow spiritually. Love will be the operative force of this growth.
