Can you love something/someone that you don't know about.

Are we called to love everyone? If there was a stranger, could we just love him/her? Not knowing someone makes it hard...for us just to naturally love them. Because to define love, don't you need to KNOW what you are loving, in order so that you can love it. You can't love something/someone that you don't know.

"....Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. ³⁵ By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

John 13:34-35

...that includes everyone right? in this world I'd think...

Like, we always take the side of the people we know...we help our "friends", our "neighbors"...but who is to be called our "neighbors" and our "friends"? What about our enemies...let alone strangers. Why do we insist on judging people and "Hating" on them, when we don't even know them yet. Definitely, it is something we can work on. But just a thought...

"But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you..."

Matthew 5:44

Not like, we don't know this already...I'm just raising the fact, that it's always there, and that people know it's there, but may not be aware at the same time. We are a quick judging race...mann, once we see something we don't like, we form our own concepts of everything whole based on that.

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged"

Matthew 7:1

"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?"

Matthew 7:3

Enh..that's the end of it...
