Loving people is hard, we have all struggled with this at some point in our life. Note that while love is the inevitable result of being born of God, it is not the automatic result. John states (4:7), “Everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.” If we are children of the One whose very nature is love, then we will be like our Father. The life God gives us is meant to show His love through us. But at the same time, John commands (4:11), “Beloved, if God so loves us, we also ought to love one another.” It is not automatic or effortless! There is always room for growth in love.
