It is easier to be enthusiastic about Humanity with a capital ‘H’ than it is to love individual men and women, especially those who are uninteresting, exasperating, depraved, or otherwise unattractive. Loving everybody in general may be an excuse for loving nobody in particular.
--C.S. Lewis
I shared this quote this past Sunday during the teaching on 1 John 3:11-24. This can unfortunately be very true for me. I think the challenge is for all of us to have actual people we can name that we are intentionally seeking to love...though I don't recommend telling them they are uninteresting, exasperating, depraved, or unattractive. Just a suggestion.
