Be generous enough to give sinners a chance of being loved. Unlike you, they have much the need.
Never cultivate the least of your tendency to ostracize but nourish rather your potential to be compassionate. Avoid harsh judgments by all means. You never knew their pains and how difficult it was for them to struggle with life. They live with alienation in the midst of others’ condemnation and there must be no way for you to add more pains to their inhibition. Grab the moment to be Christ-like in putting them close to your heart than being antagonistic. Never worry with friends, they are already a part of you. Worry, instead, of finding a place in your utmost tenderness those whom you deem unpleasant to host. Your desire to care for the unwanted deserves a merit from God’s deepest affection. The essence of loving is not just exclusive to being reciprocal but more of being altruistic. True endearment never expects of something in return lest it become self-serving. It is heartily given, not asked.
Learn to love not just from your head, but much from the bottom of your heart.
