And this is the essence of Christ's teaching, looking beyond people to see the God in them - just as Becky wrote in her comment. You said it right, 'do not look down, look up!' A very big Amen to your prayer, and thanks for this comment. Deborah, your comment really moved me, particularly since I know your personal story.

The awareness of this truth and actively searching for this image in even the most difficult people enables us to rise above difficulty of loving them. Thanks for your very insightful comment.

Now i know where to find Him (Mat. 25:37-40). No doubt, payment for this is in heaven. Nevermind this person u loving may not at all appreciate or even may despise u, or steal u property and empty the house - just keep on keeping on do not look down, look up! A big eternal reward awaits. In the same way, (Luke 14:12-14) Then Jesus said to his host, ' when you give a lunch or a dinner, do not invite your friends or brothers or relatives or your rich neighbours - for they will invite you back, and in this way you will be paid for what you did. When you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame and the blind; and you will be blessed, because they are not able to pay you back. God will repay you on the day the good people rise from death.' Prayer: (Oh Lord, give us the grace to be faithful to your word. Grateful in Jesus name, Amen.)

Some people may have difficulty looking pain and suffering in the eye. Search for the image of God in every person you encounter may this overshadow all else. May we all reach out a hand to those in need in this suffering world. We are called to love and care for those who may be difficult to love.

Being there for someone who really needs us by showing them what Love is through Jesus Christ. I know sometimes I feel helpless, but knowing that I can do something by praying, by asking for friends to join in prayer can heal their souls and their hearts. Not only in prayer, but by being their for them by talking to them and listening to them, helping them can be the greatest fruits that we all can bare. God is truly amazing how he uses people through his love. *tears* you know WD, I’ve learned so much this weekend about all of this, and truly taught the value of compassion and understanding.
