The love that we, as Christians, show people—as unlovable as they may be—is a reflection of God’s love for us. We, too, are unlovable. We, too, are undeserving of God’s approval and affection. And yet even while we were yet sinners, God made a way through Christ to have a relationship with us (Romans 5:8). We don’t have the right to ignore or dismiss people because they’re hard to love, because God didn’t dismiss or ignore us.
