God, its not easy...

God is love.
And being closer to God means being closer to love.
But the nearer we get to God, the harder it is to love. Because when we realise (by getting nearer to God) how difficult it is to love as God loves, to love as Christ loves; the more difficult it is to love. Read the passage below by Oswald Chambers.

THE UNRELIEVED QUEST
"Feed My sheep." John 21:17 This is love in the making. The love of God is un-made, it is God's nature. When we receive the Holy Spirit He unites us with God so that His love is manifested in us. When the soul is united to God by the indwelling Holy Spirit, that is not the end; the end is that we may be one with the Father as Jesus was. What kind of oneness had Jesus Christ with the Father? Such a oneness that the Father sent Him down here to be spent for us, and He says - "As the Father hath sent Me, even so send I you." Peter realizes now with the revelation of the Lord's hurting question that he does love Him; then comes the point - "Spend it out." Don't testify how much you love Me, don't profess about the marvellous revelation you have had, but - "Feed My sheep." And Jesus has some extraordinarily funny sheep, some bedraggled, dirty sheep, some awkward, butting sheep, some sheep that have gone astray! It is impossible to weary God's love, and it is impossible to weary that love in me if it springs from the one centre. The love of God pays no attention to the distinctions made by natural individuality. If I love my Lord I have no business to be guided by natural temperament; I have to feed His sheep. There is no relief and no release from this commission. Beware of counterfeiting the love of God by working along the line of natural human sympathy, because that will end in blaspheming the love of God.

Oswald Chambers - My Utmost for His Highest

If we say we love Christ, that we love God then we need to love His people also. And as Mr Chambers has written, "Jesus has some extraordinary funny sheep..."

And we shouldn't choose the 'sheep' that should be loved. Just as God's love is upon all, our love should be upon all as well. Without exception. And thats where loving your enemies comes in, thats the utmost. Just as God loves even His enemies, the most horrible people, the least deserving, the people we would never ever want to see again...

So being God is definitely not easy.
But God being God is able to do it.
And as His children, only when He enables us through His Spirit in us can we do what He does.

May God help us all.
