It's strange to think how easily people understand your poems but they never understand your problems.

Pro-life policies are shaking up discussions in today’s society, aiming to safeguard lives from conception to natural death. These initiatives enforce regulations on abortion, support pregnant women with resources, and advocate for healthcare protections aligned with ethical values. The push is to create a culture that respects all life, giving women alternatives and fostering stronger family support systems. The impact of these policies goes beyond legislation—they’re reshaping attitudes around healthcare, family dynamics, and even emotional wellbeing for women making tough decisions. In a world full of complexities, it’s vital to discuss these issues with empathy and understanding.

Love the unlovable

1. Reflecting God’s Nature

Jesus taught that God’s love is unconditional and extends to all people, regardless of their actions or character. In Matthew 5:45, He says, "He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous." This illustrates that God’s love is not limited to those who are "good" or "lovable" but is given freely to everyone.

By loving the unlovable and our enemies, we reflect God’s character and demonstrate His love to the world. It’s a call to embody the divine nature of unconditional love.

2. Breaking the Cycle of Hatred and Violence

Jesus’ teaching to love our enemies (Matthew 5:44) is a radical departure from the human tendency to retaliate or hold grudges. By loving those who harm us, we break the cycle of hatred and violence.

This teaching challenges us to respond to evil with good, creating the possibility for transformation and reconciliation. It’s not about excusing wrongdoing but about overcoming evil with good (Romans 12:21).

3. Transforming Hearts and Relationships

Loving the unlovable and our enemies is not just for their benefit but also for ours. It transforms our hearts, freeing us from bitterness, anger, and resentment. It helps us grow in compassion, humility, and spiritual maturity.

This kind of love has the power to soften hearts and build bridges, even in the most broken relationships. It opens the door for healing and restoration.

4. A Witness to the World

Jesus said that our love for one another would be a sign of our discipleship (John 13:35). Loving the unlovable and our enemies is a powerful testimony to the world of the transformative power of God’s love.

It challenges societal norms and demonstrates a higher standard of living—one that is rooted in grace and selflessness rather than self-interest or revenge.

5. Following Jesus’ Example

Jesus Himself modeled this teaching perfectly. He loved and forgave those who betrayed, rejected, and crucified Him. On the cross, He prayed, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing" (Luke 23:34).

By loving our enemies, we follow in His footsteps and participate in His mission of redemption and reconciliation.

6. A Call to Radical Love

Jesus’ command to love our enemies is not based on feelings but on a deliberate choice to act in love, even when it’s difficult. It’s a call to radical love that goes beyond natural human inclinations.

This kind of love is only possible through the power of the Holy Spirit, who enables us to love as Jesus loves.

7. Eternal Perspective

Jesus’ teaching reminds us that everyone is created in God’s image and has inherent worth, regardless of their actions. Loving the unlovable reflects an eternal perspective—seeing people as God sees them and valuing their potential for redemption.

It also aligns us with God’s ultimate plan for reconciliation and restoration of all things (Colossians 1:20).

Practical Application:

Pray for those who hurt you: Jesus specifically instructs us to pray for our enemies (Matthew 5:44). Prayer softens our hearts and invites God to work in their lives.

Show kindness: Small acts of kindness can have a profound impact, even on those who seem unlovable.

Forgive: Forgiveness is not condoning wrongdoing but releasing the burden of resentment and trusting God to bring justice in His time.

Seek reconciliation: Where possible, take steps to restore broken relationships, always guided by love and humility.

In summary, Jesus’ teaching to love the unlovable and our enemies is a call to live out the highest form of love—agape love—which is selfless, sacrificial, and unconditional. It challenges us to rise above our natural instincts and embody the transformative power of God’s love in a broken world. This teaching is not easy, but it is central to the Christian faith and has the potential to change lives, relationships, and communities.

When you're still hurt by someone and struggling to forgive them, it's important to acknowledge that forgiveness is a process, not an instant event. It’s okay to feel hurt, but holding onto that pain can lead to bitterness and hinder your spiritual and emotional well-being. Here’s a step-by-step guide on what to do when you’re still hurting and how to pray for the strength to forgive:

1. Acknowledge Your Pain

Be honest with yourself and God about how you feel. It’s okay to admit that you’re hurt, angry, or disappointed. God already knows your heart, and He invites you to bring your raw emotions to Him (Psalm 62:8).

Example prayer: "Lord, I’m hurting because of what happened. I feel [angry/betrayed/sad], and I don’t know how to move past this. Please help me process these emotions in a healthy way."

2. Surrender Your Hurt to God

Give your pain to God and ask Him to heal your heart. Holding onto the hurt only gives it power over you. Trust that God can handle your emotions and bring healing.

Example prayer: "Father, I give this pain to You. I can’t carry it anymore. Please heal my heart and help me release this burden to You."

3. Ask for God’s Perspective

Pray for the ability to see the person through God’s eyes. Remember that they, too, are a flawed human being in need of grace, just like you. This doesn’t excuse their actions, but it can help you humanize them and soften your heart.

Example prayer: "God, help me see this person as You see them. Remind me that they are Your creation, and You love them just as You love me."

4. Pray for the Person Who Hurt You

Jesus commands us to pray for those who hurt us (Matthew 5:44). Praying for the person who caused you pain can be incredibly freeing. It doesn’t mean you’re excusing their behavior, but you’re releasing them to God’s care and justice.

Example prayer: "Lord, I pray for [name]. I ask that You work in their heart and life. Bless them, guide them, and help them grow. I release them to You and trust You to handle this situation."

5. Ask for the Strength to Forgive

Forgiveness is not something you can always do on your own. Ask God to give you the strength and grace to forgive, even when it feels impossible.

Example prayer: "God, I know forgiveness is Your will, but I’m struggling to let go. Please give me the strength to forgive [name] as You have forgiven me. Help me to release this hurt and choose love instead of bitterness."

6. Take Steps Toward Healing

Forgiveness doesn’t mean forgetting or pretending the hurt didn’t happen. It means choosing to let go of the desire for revenge and trusting God to bring justice and healing.

If possible, consider setting healthy boundaries to protect yourself from further harm. Forgiveness doesn’t always mean reconciliation, especially if the relationship is toxic or unsafe.

7. Meditate on God’s Forgiveness Toward You

Reflect on how much God has forgiven you. When we realize the depth of God’s grace toward us, it becomes easier to extend that same grace to others (Ephesians 4:32).

Example prayer: "Lord, thank You for forgiving me of my sins. Help me to remember Your mercy and extend that same forgiveness to [name]."

8. Be Patient with Yourself

Forgiveness is a journey, and it’s okay if it takes time. Don’t beat yourself up for still feeling hurt. Keep bringing your feelings to God and asking for His help.

Example prayer: "Father, I’m still struggling with this, but I trust You to work in my heart. Help me to take one step at a time toward forgiveness and healing."

9. Seek Support if Needed

If the hurt is deep or ongoing, consider seeking support from a trusted friend, counselor, or pastor. Sometimes, talking through your feelings with someone else can help you process and heal.

A Sample Prayer for Forgiveness

Here’s a prayer you can use or adapt:

"Heavenly Father, I come to You with a heavy heart. I’ve been hurt by [name], and the pain feels overwhelming. I know Your Word says to forgive, but I’m struggling to let go. Please heal my heart and help me release this hurt to You. Give me the strength to forgive [name] as You have forgiven me. Help me to see them through Your eyes and to pray for their well-being. Lord, I trust You to bring justice and healing in this situation. Thank You for Your love and grace that sustains me. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen."

Final Thought

Forgiveness is not about condoning the wrong done to you or pretending it didn’t hurt. It’s about freeing yourself from the burden of bitterness and trusting God to handle the situation. As you take steps toward forgiveness, remember that God is with you every step of the way, providing the strength and grace you need. Over time, His love will heal your heart and help you move forward in freedom.

It's the middle of my summer vacation and I have absolutely nothing to do (willingly)

Is this loneliness I wonder

Or perhaps just a post-period-mood-swing thing

Either way my life seems lost and purposeless

I have a handful of friends with mutual attachments. Makes me wonder if it would be the same for the rest of my life.

But there was one exception dear peri peri

She is a strong willed, reliable and selfless person I'd ever met. With her I feel like I could show my true self without the fear of any sort of judgement.

I didn't hesitate to show her my true self my fears my selfishness sorrows and what not.

Slowly I realised she drifted away from me saying I was too self centred and did not care about her like I was using her just for my need of a friend.

I did not argue a bit because I believed if she thought I was selfish maybe I just was there was no changing it.

Maybe I'm just rude and selfish but that doesn't mean I don't deserve any friends i know people meaner than myself yet I wanted to be friends with them so why won't anybody do that for me.

What is it that I lack as a friend or a person?

Some said I was too straightforward with my thoughts some say I'm just an introvert and that I should change myself put on a fake face to attract people. I think that's what everybody does but that doesn't mean I should do it too.

I want to reach out to the people around me but then what is stopping me...laziness? Fear of being rejected? I can't figure it out.

I'm listening to 1D 'Hey angel'. I feel like i can express myself better this way. Louis is singing his part now and it's beautiful. The song's ended and i'm still driking my tea, which tastes really bad btw. So i'm here to tell everything i've been going through at the moment. It's been really hard for me to look for help. Seriously, it's been real bad. I talked to my mom about it 'cause i couldn't hide how bad i was feeling and i just ended up in a mess. Tears and cuddles everywhere. I couldn't even look at her in the eyes. I feel like i was so into this shell trying to show everyone how strong i was. When the thruth was, i didn't need to show and prove anyone anything at all. I don't owe people a thing. I feel it's still hard to tell people how i feel. I don't share many things 'cause most of the time i don't know how to tell things to others. What i'm do sure know is i suck at communicating. I have to work on that. So to anyone who gets to see this. Look for help, i know how hard it is. Soemtimes you just need a talk. That's all and you'll feel much better. I love very much everywhere you are and i hope you're fine and happy. (Listen to 1d for better life)

How to find those people, who like the same things as you?

Hi, folks!

Do you know the answer to this question?

I should admit, that I don't know...

Not so far I lost my friend...no he is fine, but we lost each other. We crossed the line.

Firstly, I thought that it all was about making a kind of relationships with a guy, who (by the way) lives in a very distant country comparing with mine...Then I lost him and it turned out, that it was far much more worse...it was about friendship. That fucking friendship, that is hard to find nowadays.

No, I'm speaking frankly and absolutely seriously...I really don't know why it's so hard (for me) to find a friend now.

Is it about age things (you're growing older and starting be more aware of people, with whom you share all your daily routine...)?

Or it is just a sociopathic things...

Well, the point is: how to find this person?

By the way, do you know, from where is it necessity 'to have a friend' comes? It's a fact, that animals are free from this 'function'.

Suffering

Life is going to give you a gutful of reasons to be angry kid, you only need to be grateful. God doesn't promise our stories will make sense, but He does promise they'll find their greater purpose if we're patient.

It ain't giving up, it's the giving for. Like anything.. it's struggle that brings you closer to God. You can't fool God. My suffering is a gift from God. In this life, no matter how long it lasts, it's a momentary affliction preparing us for eternal glory.

I could have used God's help for a lot of things, but I never could find Him. My son said, 'God wasn't lost.'

This life, no matter how long it lasts, is a momentary affliction preparing us for eternal glory. We shouldn't pray for an easy life, but the strength to endure a difficult one. Because the experience of suffering is the fullest expression of God's love. It is a chance to be closer to Christ. It's a profound experience, suffering. And the struggles of this disease help me, and help others, to learn the way that we should have been living all along. It's taught me a little humility. It's taught me, dignity & respect for others. Sometimes people like me- There's an extreme example. We need things like this to be able to make those changes and decisions in our life that are gonna help us become better people. Become the people that God has created us to be when he sent us to this planet.

You have to learn the hard way how to live in the light.

No one suffers perfectly.. even Christ had his moments of despair.

Some of the most remarkable figures in the church are reformed man.

God doesn't make mistakes.

- Father Stu
