I read somewhere once that the only way that you'll truly love someone or if you desire to have a heart for someone like for poor people or for someone who really rubs you the wrong way, or for... well anyone then the only way to do that would be to just do it. If you want to have a heart for poor people then go serve them. Be around them. Love on them. Get to know them. only then you'll really start to love them and have a heart for them. You can't love that which you don't know so go get to know them!
The Lord has definitely confirmed that in my heart and in my life. Once you start to selflessly love someone or some people group then you'll start to truly love them and that love will grow stronger and stronger as you love them more and more and put yourself around them more and more!
so if you feel like you don't love people enough or tha you could walk through life not caring about the poor or the elderly or the (insert name here) then you wanna know what you should do?! You should go and serve them! Because that's where love for them grows! Ask God for a heart to love them and the strength to serve them and then go and do it!
