Greetings in Christ Jesus, Fellow Soldiers.
Having a hard time loving someone today? Do you find what they do or how they speak--perhaps even who you believe them to be--somewhat repulsive?
Remember that "while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Rom. 5:8)
He didn't die for friendly people, good people, or lovable people. He died for the same people who hated Him so much, they brutally and unjustly murdered Him. As the traitors taunted Him, He cried out "Father, forgive them..."
If such love was wielded toward you and me, the worst of sinners, then we can surely turn the other cheek and proactively love those who in some manner offend us.
