FIRST: YOU HAVE GOD'S AUTHORIZATION TO LOVE EVERYBODY!
Men, women, children, saints, sinners, rich, poor, black-white-yellow-green,
old, young, beautiful, ugly, friends, enemies: you have God's permission to
love EVERYBODY in the entire world.
You don't need to be shy. You are authorized by God to love all people,
whomever they may be.
"For all the law is fulfilled in one word,
even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself." (Galatians 5:14 KJV)
"This is my commandment, That ye love one another,
as I have loved you." (John 15:12 KJV)
And the Bible says that EVERYONE IS YOUR NEIGHBOR!

The Lord wants us to love others as we love ourselves and as He has loved us.
But how exactly do we do this?
The basic way is this: "TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED." This
this is the Golden Rule, God's guideline for all mankind.
http://www.loveallpeople.org/golden.html
Our love begins within our heart, from the Holy Spirit within us. Then it flows
outward, towards others. But sometimes we have difficulty knowing how to
express this love and give it to others.
This ministry provides practical techniques and methods for giving your love to
other people.

THE SCRIPTURAL MANDATE TO LOVE OTHER PEOPLE
"Love All People As Yourself."
=> God's Only Law Is Love - http://www.loveallpeople.org/pearl-godsonlylaw.html
=> We Must Love One Another
TREAT OTHERS AS YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED
The best way to express your love for other people is to always follow The
Golden Rule, "Treat Others As You Would Like To Be Treated."
http://www.loveallpeople.org/golden.html
LEARN HOW TO ENJOY OTHER PEOPLE
The common experience of mankind is that if you enjoy someone, it is easy to
love them; but if you do not enjoy them, then it is hard to love them. So we
see that enjoying other people is a big part of loving them.
It is difficult to love other people if we do not enjoy them.

UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TOLERANCE AND APPROVAL
To love other people, we must sometimes tolerate some of their behaviors which
we cannot approve of.

INCREASE YOUR LOVE FOR OTHERS BY DOING GOOD TO THEM
It is a happy fact of human nature, that we increase our love for others by
doing good to them. The more good we do to other people, the more our love for
them increases. Try it for yourself, and you will see.
IF WE LOVE, WE MUST FORGIVE
If we love them, we must forgive them. Just as God loves us and has forgiven
us, we must also forgive them. If we will not forgive others, God will not
forgive us! Simple as that. People who claim to be Christians but who will not
forgive are merely deceiving themselves.

JESUS ENABLES US TO LOVE OTHERS AS OURSELF
By our own flawed human nature, it is almost impossible to love others as we
love ourself. Maybe some few people can do it, but most people cannot even come
close. But when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord, His Holy Spirit enters us
and dwells within us, transforming our flawed nature into a more perfect
nature, more like His own.

HOW TO LOVE STRANGERS
It is easy to love those who already know you and love you. So here is the way
to love strangers.
First, Give Them What They Ask For - unless you have a good reason not to do
so.
Next, Give Them What They Really Want - as best you can determine it.
Finally, Give Them What They Clearly Need - but do not assume too much.
Always Follow The Law Of Love And The Golden Rule ("Love your neighbor as
yourself," and "Treat others as you would like to be treated."

them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute
you;" - Jesus speaking, Matthew 5:44
