(This is Part 2 of a series.  You must read the prior Notion Devotion - Impartial Law-Officer, to understand this series). 

Impartial Lover is the title of a lover without bias.  The one and only true God loves without prejudice making the title of Impartial Lover an aspect of God’s character we need to understand more intimately.     

We consider some people to be worse than other people.

Sometimes the thought slides in almost unaware concerning someone’s look, status, or hygiene.  Somehow the person seems less deserving.

Other times we know that person is wrong.    

God loves.  He provides.  He is sympathetic, tender, responsive, compassionate, and merciful, to the acceptable as well as the unacceptable. 

You would not want God any other way.  A god who is not an impartial lover would have powerless, empty, and whimsical love that you could never be certain would remain.  

That is the kicker to an Impartial Lover God: he wants a relationship with everyone.  So, He gave his life-blood to make relationship possible.
 
Jesus said,  "You're familiar with the old written law, 'Love your friend,' and its unwritten companion, 'Hate your enemy.'  I'm challenging that. I'm telling you to love your enemies. Let them bring out the best in you, not the worst. When someone gives you a hard time, respond with the energies of prayer, for then you are working out of your true selves, your God-created selves. This is what God does. He gives his best—the sun to warm and the rain to nourish—to everyone, regardless: the good and bad, the nice and nasty.”  Matt 5:43-45 (MSG)

1. Who are your unacceptable?
2. Pick just one person you deem unacceptable and respond to that person with the energies of prayer, then note what happens?
3. What is the biggest sacrifice you have made in the name of Love?
4. Do you pray out of your true self?
5. Why can you be certain God’s love remains with you?
