Relationships don’t always go the way we intend. Maybe even in the midst of trying to fix them… they can get worse. And before long, we find ourselves in a place of having a hard time loving them the way God has called us to.

Loving others is one of the keys to feeling love. But loving others can be messy and downright hard.

Thankfully, Jesus doesn’t expect us to love the world and our own strength. He sent us the advocate. Counselor. Our helper. His Holy Spirit.

If you were having a hard time, loving someone in your life right now, ask the Holy Spirit to help you. He is there to help us and our weaknesses.

“Love isn’t what I have the opportunity to get from this world. Love is what I have the opportunity to give.” John Ortberg
