I think the opposite of love is not hate. It is indifference and disregard. I’d much rather have conflict than a cold shoulder.

To love Jesus Christ is to be hyper-sensitive to him and his will and his ways.

Can we be indifferent toward him and he still show us mercy,? Well probably but…

to love him is to regard him, even when you don’t want to, even when you don’t think it’s such a big deal. When we love someone we have great regard for them.

Even when we disagree, even when it’s hard to side with them.
