One of God’s greatest commandments was love. That’s actually a command that we can’t get away with, one we must do. We must love him and our neighbor. For many, America has taught different, simply because it wasn’t found on love, it was found by mistake and it turn into hate to gain control.
Many times we see the homeless or the poor and we actually think we’re so much better than them. There is so many unanswered questions as to why the person is thinking the way they’re thinking, but maybe you should try asking, “Why are you homeless?” or “Why you’re in the shape you’re in?” Maybe try to help. That’s where the rich man failed. Instead of trying to come to a conclusion, he formed a source of hate against Lazarus. Reason why he went to hell. He despised Lazarus.
Sometimes we may get into a position where we have to love in a form which we call “tuff love” whereas we very much love, but we have to stay our distance. Ya see, we can’t let this person affect our relationship with God. We have to be careful of guarding our heart and not sinning. I’m going through the worst situation at home I’ve ever practically had in my life right now. I find myself having to wait on the Lord. If I don’t, I’ll find myself not loving and turn around and do something stupid out of anger. That’s why we have to keep loving and guard our hearts.
Last, but not least, Racism. People such as those, be very hard to enter God’s kingdom. More than likely with Satan. So if you need God to cleanse you, start asking. Nothing better than love.
