The art of loving someone other than yourself.
I recently began reading a post on Reddit, where the question was asked, “As a Christian, what do you struggle with most?” The responses are overwhelmingly similar.
Most sat around the idea of loving others. Some mentioned temptation, and others mentioned trust. But the most prevalent theme was loving others. Loving others, as a Christian, seems to be the hardest.
I wonder where this stems from. Why is it so hard for people to genuinely care about others? To me, it seems like a foreign concept, because I feel I do it well. I try to think about being intentional with strangers and new people I meet, to portray the Gospel.
But it didn’t always come “natural” to me.
