Love Them Anyway; Matthew Chapter 2

It was always so confusing to me when people have gone out of their way to act ugly and hateful and it can make you start to question yourself like what did I do to you? And a possible answer to that could very simply be nothing. Maybe you didn’t do anything for them to act hateful to you, in fact maybe you went out of your way to show kindness or grace. The thing that helps me feel encouraged is to remind myself that they are obviously hurting, and I truly believe when people act this way towards us it’s evident that they need Jesus. And although it is sometimes incredibly hard to put aside our feelings, it’s the perfect opportunity to do so and to continue to pour out grace and kindness and show His love to the "King Herod's" in our own life.

You are seen. You are known. You are loved.
