So what I hear you saying is "you don't like me"...

I'd love to know what you think... Was Jesus likable? What drew people to Him? I think Jesus was likable except to those who cared too much about how other people viewed them. The Bible teaches that "If anyone claims to live in him they must walk as Jesus did." I John 2:6. If we are like Jesus we are going to love each other. When you love each other you protect, trust, persevere... all of those things found in I Cor. 13. But, I don't think I can find anywhere in the love chapter that we will always "like" each other. Part of living in truth and "walking in the light" is the freedom I can give you to not like me or what I do if you so choose. You need to do the same for me. Once I feel as if my like or dislike for you or something you might do is going to overly affect you or cause you to change a direction that you feel strongly about, our relationship gets complicated. Prayer: Father God, help us to grow in our inner character to a place where we can dislike each other once in a while but still walk in grace, truth and love.
