We need God's help. We cannot do life alone. This is especially true when it comes to loving those who hurt us. Our natural state is that we are broken people apart from God. Pain and fear can make us lash out. We can be selfish, angry, and short-tempered, though we want to be gracious and loving. Through God and through God only can we truly love others. Judy Douglass describes how God gives us what we need to love others when it seems impossible to do so.

God does not expect us to be able to do everything on our own. As Judy said, He gives us the love He has for others so that it will flow from us to them. God has the ability to love others unconditionally when we cannot. He wants us to let go of what we think we need so that He can give us what we actually need to love others. God can transform your relationships. It starts when we ask Him to love through us.

Philippians 2:13

for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

Philippians 4:13

I can do all things through him who strengthens me.

Ephesians 3:17-19

so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
