Love does not require liking 
It is easy to love the people that we like. And, it is easy to not love the people that we don’t like.
But, this is a very damaging trap to fall into.
First of all, when I judge people and withhold love – this does not make my life better. It does not make me a happier person. It shuts me down and puts me in a bad mood.
Secondly, it certainly does not make this world a better place.
Thirdly, every person was born worthy of love. And, God loves that person as much as God loves me.
It is okay to dislike people, we are allowed to have preferences. However, disliking someone is a poor excuse for not loving them.
Next time you catch yourself getting caught up in judgment and in disliking, love that person instead.
Much Love,
Jonathan
