       You see, and this is an important point, that those who are in the lower levels of inner-self often have a real difficult time accepting love. That’s because they aren’t that familiar with it. They don’t have it themselves, or have only a little bit, and when others try to give it to them, they don’t know what to do with it. They don’t know how to respond. As a matter of fact, negative emotions may even come forth in response to the love. I think one reason for this is the realization that the other person has what they don’t have. There is this immediate jealousy that comes forth upon this realization, and as a result, the person in some way, shape, or form offends the other by not receiving the gift correctly. We’ve all done this. Again, James says, “If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well. But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors” (ESV).
