I sat and talked to God, “Lord, it is so tough

To love bad people, makes loving rough

To love the people who are unkind

I am trying, I am trying to find

Grace, when it can be hard to do

Oh Lord, I‘m trying to be more like You

Though I know as sinners, Your love still abounds

Hope for redemption and to be heaven bound

With the same mercy I know You have given to me

I must love them too, whole heartedly

I can hate the sin

Though I must pray for them

For I know you can change a heart

I just must love, for that is my part

Loving bad people can make loving tough

But through God’s grace we are all enough

All worthy to be saved, redeemed, and loved too

Lord, I am learning to love like you

Loving like the Lord

Luke 6:35 NIV

But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.

Matthew 5:44-46 NIV

But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that?

John 13:34 NIV

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
