Guest Post: Just Like You by Alina Hall

 "But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked." -Luke 3:16

Teach me to love like You,
Not as the Gentiles do.
For they only love each other
When they are loved back

" He was despised and rejected by mankind, a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces, he was despised, and we held him in low esteem." -Isaiah 53:3

But You love the sinner
The one that hates You
The one that turns their back on You
The one that puts everything else in Your place
And puts You in the back of their minds

You sacrificed Yourself for the ones
That would trample over Your name
And hide their faces from You

"We love because he first loved us." -1 John 4:19

Even so, You still love them
You readily forgive
And will teach them to love like You.

A Heart that Forigives -Kevin Levar
