Why It’s So Hard To Love Your "Enemies"

The greatest commandment is to love God with our heart, soul, mind, and strength.  The second greatest commandment is that we love our neighbors, our brothers and sisters as we love ourselves.  We find it easy to love God.  He gives us every reason to do so, but our neighbors, our brothers and sisters, are a different story.  Too often they give us every reason not to love them.  But Jesus does not give us a choice.  We are commanded to love them as we love ourselves.  Let us admit that we need help.  Come with us as we dig deeply into the scripture to remind ourselves of the reasons we should obey the second greatest commandment to love our neighbors, our brothers and sisters as ourselves.
