Have you ever met an unlovable person?
I know, I know. God loves everyone… and as His children we are called to love like He does… The issue here isn’t whether we should love the person or not… but rather… sometimes, we come across someone who is extra hard to love… who, no matter how hard you try to be kind, they have a prickly edge to them, a dissatisfied reaction, a disgruntled response… We eventually avoid that person rather than keep on trying… (and that person becomes even more alone and gruff.)
Maribel was that person for me… I met her back in 1996… never happy… always demanding something but never thankful, never content… Her tone of voice, facial expressions, attitudes and actions pushed others away… Her “glue jar” was never far from her nose… sometimes it would be shoved down her shirt if the police were going by or if I insisted I didn’t want to talk without her putting the glue away…
