Dear One,Give love a chance to do its wonderful work in the lives of people for whom you are praying and those people you meet on the street every day.
People need time to respond to your love because very often they are reluctant to open themselves up and become vulnerable to others. When people have been physically or emotionally injured by others, they close themselves off in certain areas of their minds purely in self protection. Then when they receive unconditional love, they are slow to open themselves up and completely respond because they fear that the love will not last or that the love is a manipulation toward more physical or emotional injury.
My instructions to love others do not carry any restrictions such as to love them only if they respond in love. My instructions were simply to love others.
Even an injured animal who has experienced abuse will be shy and shrink away when approached by humans. All living beings are the same, protective of themselves.
That's why you must persist in showing your unconditional love, not caring whether it is returned to you or not. True love gives even when there is no giving in return.
There are many, many injured people in the world. Don't require them to respond with love when you give it. Love them enough not to expect anything in return.
Remember, I loved you when you were still consumed with your emotional hurts and injuries. That's why My love is unconditional. I never expected anything in return from you. Go and do likewise.
Heal the broken hearted with love.
Love, God
