Living in the Nashville area for years, I developed an appreciation for country music. It is easy to love country music. I love the lyrics, melodies, and of course some of the artists.
Recently, I tuned in to a local country music station and listened to the song, Hard to Love by Lee Brice. The lyrics resonated with me. Although this song is not new, it is new to me.
Hard to Love is referencing to a romantic love between a man and women. Does this truth extend beyond romantic love. I think so. I must admit it… some folks are simply hard to love. They are stuck in their ways, irritating, grouchy, and cantankerous. Is it normal to have people in our lives who are difficult to love?
Yet, if people who follow Christ take seriously his words, love your enemies, we are called to love people who are hard to love.
Who is hard to love in your life?
"But I tell you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." Matthew 5: 44
