Love

Have you ever had the privilege of loving someone but yet are fully aware that the person doesn't fancy you? No, I don't mean the bittersweet longings of an unfulfilled romance that doesn't last anyway; but something far deeper and more complex and much more difficult.

I say difficult because you know deep down that no matter what you do, that person is never going to reciprocrate. And yet, there is no way to sever or even ignore the relationship. You are tied to the person emotionally and legally.

Jesus said we are to love those who hate us because if we only love those who love us, then what good is that, because even those who don't believe do that.

And so I struggle, some days it's is easier, some days harder and other days downright impossible. But on I will plod, because I love my Lord and my wish is to obey Him.

It's as simple as that.
