Are you having trouble loving someone? You cannot work up love on our own. The source of love is God. If God lives in us we can claim his love, working through us, for the people in our lives. Because God is love, we can love.
1 John 4:7-12
7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. NIV
After claiming love for that person, from God. Do an act of love and kindness for them. It does not matter how they respond. It does not matter how you feel emotionally. You have loved them with God's love. That pleases God.
