Does loving someone mean you have to like them too?

Nabasa ko lang ni sa isa ka blogger ... ^___^

God wanted me to love a girl that I really had no intention of every talking to again. Well I started talking to her (over Facebook) and it went great. She was receptive. She seemed legitamately grateful to hear what I was telling her. She seemed like she was going to change. Whether or not she actually does is now up to her and God. I did my part.

But did I really.

Now that I am home on Christmas break, she is asking me to meet up with her and some mutual friends, but I don’t want too. This got me thinking: can you love someone without wanting anything to do with them? The human part of me wants to say yes. That way, in my mind, I can tell God that I did fullfill his request, I do love her, I just have no desire to ever be her friend. But another part of me thinks that is absolute bull and is just my excuse to ditch the hard part.

I have to show her that I still care about her, want to be in her life, and am there for her, none of which paticularly appeal to me. But the first part that God wanted me to do turned out so well that maybe I should just trust that this will as well.

God, I hope You know what You are doing, because I certainly do not.
