John 15:12 KJV

¹² This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

Jesus wants us to love one another as He loved us. That means even the ones that have caused us pain in our lives. We have to forgive one another and move forward. It is easy to love the ones that are good to us but what about the ones who aren’t? Those that may have stole our job, stole our money, broke our hearts and so much more. We have to love like Jesus loved us.
