Love Everybody?

So, as I mentioned in my first Post, I had worked sound for the Women of RCA. (For those of you who don't know RCA is Reformed Church of America) There was this lady speaking about what it means to love everybody. As she was sharing with the audience about making soup for neighbors, and visiting sick friends in the hospital,I couldn't help but wonder if the people she was speaking of were easy to love in the first place. Now I'm not saying that she is guilty of this, but how many of us at one time or another have been? It's easy to love the people who are like us and the people we have most in common with. But could you love the chain smoking, pot using, low income woman who works at the local smoke shop? Would you call her from time to time to see how she is doing, or how her family is doing, or how her marriage is doing?

I can't help but wonder, how we as Christians are doing in this area.

Here is a true story: I have a friend who we will call Joe. Joe is gay. He is dating a guy we will call Ben. Ben has a Best friend girl who we'll call Sara. Sara is pregnant with a baby she conceived when she was raped. Ben is going to the Navy and has agreed to merry Sara so that she can be covered by Ben's medical insurance form the Navy, all the while he is dating Joe.

Now my question is if you met anyone of these people, what would you do? Would you preach to them? Judge them? Or just love them, and be there as a friend.

I just couldn't help but wonder.
