I feel like we have this double standard of Love.
We as humans pick and choose who is worthy of love and who is not. Thats not what i remember Jesus telling us to do. He said it simply, Love your neighboor as yourslef.
Its not anything new, we've been flawed with this idea since creation.

In John 8, an angry mob drags a sinful woman to Jesus. Calling her a prostitute and telling Jesus that they will stone her to death becasue that is the law in those days. And Jesus said to them "let you who is without sin cast the first stone". I bet that made them feel pretty small. One by one starting with the oldest they all dropped their stones and went off. Not even one of the religious people were without sin.
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
And the point Jesus is making, which we cant quite grasp, is that no ones sin is worse than another. Our sins are all equally wrong in His eyes. But he loves us UNCONDITIONALLY.
We, as humans, as christians, can not decide who is worthy of love, becasue THEY ALL are. Osama bin Laden: worthy of love. They guy who kille those children at Sandy Hook: worthy of love.
Not becuase of anything they've done, but becasue God says so.
PTL, right? I mean if there was some formula to deserving love I know I would fall short.
