There are certain people we come across that are so miserable all of the time, it almost feels impossible to love these people. What we don't see is how they are hurting on the inside. They are most likely showing anger because they are hurting so much on the inside they don't want people to see the hurt they are going through or the hurt they have been through in the past. Sometimes people hold bitterness toward somebody that did something wrong to them in the past. The only way to heal from this would be to learn to forgive. It's hard to find peace in our hearts if we can't let go of things and leave it to God. If we get stuck in the past or focused so much on something negative in their life they can make themselves very sick, mentally and physically. We need God. Hurting people need to be loved. We have to show them love regardless of how angry they may seem. We have to pray for them and if they are willing we can pray upon them. Show love to the unloved.
Luke 6:35 (NLT)
But love your enemies, do good to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.
Matthew 6:14-15 (NLT)
For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
