I Disagree but… I love You
Families may disagree on many things yet also agree to love each other unconditionally.
Jesus commanded us while he was on the earth to love our enemies.
Recently in the news, Ellen Degeneres was seen enjoying herself beside George W. Bush at a football game.
Some people responded negatively and called her hypocritical for spending time with someone who has been positioned in drastic opposition to many of her views.
What I really respected was the way that she shot that down. She emphasized that you can show respect, kindness, and love to any PERSON regardless of their view.
Recently at a Lifework event in Pompano Beach, FL, there was a short conversation about loving people we disagree with also.
Someone said recently, is it no wonder that young people are leaving churches??
Tony Campolo shared at a conference I attended, “Whenever you draw a line and put people on the other side of the line, Jesus is with THEM, churches need old AND young to connect with others and all.”
Churches should be loving.
