Everyone is Lovable
Douglas Hauptmann and Sumiko Chadwell • June 11, 2023
Everyone is a child of God and capable of loving and being loved.
We Are God’s Children
Children are born innocent and unconditionally lovable. No matter what choices or actions a child displays, we are to love them without harsh judgement. As we turn into adults, we become accountable for our actions and our behavior directly effects how others perceive us. This leads to contrast throughout mankind and we begin to develop friends versus enemies. However, deeming people unlovable and deciphering to have enemies has absolutely no benefit to your life.
The best way to remember that hate has no place in our hearts, is to turn to God. All adults are forever God’s children. God has unconditional love for all and studying his word can greatly encourage forgiveness and acceptance of others into your daily life. Let’s reflect.
“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” – Romans 5:8
Although we sinned, Christ still died for us. This action alone should help us understand that enemies do not exist outside our own perception and judgement. All are worthy of love and all are lovable. Loving those who are difficult to love, is extending our love received from Christ.
It Feels Good to Love
Take a moment and reflect on a scenario when you said something terrible or acted in a way that you later regretted. Now think about how those around you offered forgiveness and how that forgiveness felt. It’s likely that you felt relieved and changed how you handled similar situations in the future. Forgiveness is a form of love.
Forgiving someone can feel equally liberating as being forgiven. When you hold a grudge, it doesn’t feel good and invites anxiety and anger into your life. While you may think that this grudge is teaching the person at hand a lesson, it is not. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Holding anger for someone is giving them control over your feelings and, in some scenarios, your life. When you release the hate, you can begin to think and act with your heart instead of your ego. The picture may become clearer as you start to perceive situations with compassion and forgiveness becomes effortless.
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.” – Matthew 5:38-42
By forgiving and welcoming in only words and actions of love, you gain back that control. If someone treats us badly, we are allowed to feel hurt, but it is never a reason to hurt them back. The cliché saying, “two wrongs don’t make a right”
holds true in this case. When we love others unconditionally, we become proof of God’s word, as we become the vessel for the extension of this love.
Love From a Distance
“But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.” – Luke 6:27-28
Loving others does not always mean we need to be physically present in that person’s life. Even at a distance, we can still project love! Praying is a great way to love others who we may not be ready to physically be around. Many people act in harmful ways because they are hurt deep inside. Anger is a secondary emotion to sadness. Someone who treats others badly was likely treated badly themselves, hence where they learned such behavior. Pray for their healing, happiness, and forgiveness.
We can also practice speaking positively about those we dislike. Gossip is the language of the ego, and doing so brings nothing but negativity into our lives. Gossip is passing judgment without allowing the other person to defend themselves. It only feeds our ego into believing our reaction to the situation was justified. This does not solve anything and can make us look untrustworthy to those we are gossiping to. We should speak kindly of our enemies and stay present.
All Are Lovable
In conclusion, all living creatures are lovable and a creation of God. The ability to love is the primary evidence of Christ living through us. We are all prone to making mistakes and likewise, we can all make changes. This is what growth looks like and we must be loved in order to have an inspiration and desire for such growth.
Next time you are feeling like a person in your life is unlovable, turn to God. Pray for them as he does for us and wish abundance and happiness for all. By doing this, we can feel less angry and use our energy into creating good.

Ever notice how most productivity advice feels like it was written for robots? "Wake up at 4 AM, meditate for two hours, answer all emails in exactly 30 minutes..." Yeah, right.
Look, I'm going to be straight with you. Most AI marketing tools are expensive. Jasper starts at $39/user/month just for basic features. Other platforms charge up to $99/month for their premium tiers. And that's before you factor in all the separate tools you need for different tasks. That's what makes American Marketing Company Marketing Tools different. At $49/month, you're getting an entire marketing department in your pocket. Not just one tool. Not just a few features. Everything. Let's break down what that $49 actually buys you: A full AI content creation suite that would normally cost $40-60/month on its own Email marketing automation that typically runs $30-50/month elsewhere Social media management tools that usually cost $25-35/month SEO optimization features that other companies charge $50+/month for Analytics and reporting that could easily set you back $30-40/month Add that up, and you're looking at $175-235 worth of marketing tools. For $49. But here's the real kicker: According to recent market analysis, businesses using AI marketing tools are seeing an average ROI increase of 37%. Think about that. If you're making $5,000 a month now, that's potentially an extra $1,850 in your pocket. From a $49 investment. "But I can just use free tools," you might be thinking. Sure, you could. You could also cut your own hair, change your own oil, and do your own taxes. But at some point, you have to ask yourself: What's your time worth? The average small business owner spends 20 hours per month on marketing tasks. With American Marketing Company Marketing Tools , our users report cutting that down to 5 hours. At even a modest $50/hour valuation of your time, that's $750 worth of time saved every month. Here's what makes this offer different: No contracts No hidden fees No "premium" features locked behind higher tiers No per-user pricing that suddenly triples your costs No complex onboarding process Just $49/month for everything. That's less than what most businesses spend on coffee for the office in a week . And unlike other platforms that make you pay extra for AI features, which can drive costs up significantly for small businesses , everything at American Marketing Company Marketing Tools is powered by AI from the ground up. Think about it this way: $49 is: Less than one tank of gas Less than a decent dinner for two Less than most monthly phone bills Less than what most competing tools charge for just one feature But unlike those expenses, this $49 is an investment that pays for itself. Often in the first week. Here's my challenge to you: Try it for one month. That's all. If you don't see at least a 2x return on that $49 investment, I'll be shocked. With the AI marketing industry growing by 38% in 2025, can you really afford to wait? The catch? There isn't one. But there is a reality: As AI technology costs rise, this $49 price point won't last forever. Lock it in now. Ready to stop wasting time and start growing your business?
