God's love is always with discernment.

[jidong xiao]

神的爱总是有辨识的。马太五章四十五节告诉我们，神降雨给义人，也给不义的人。但祂这样作是有智慧的。有时候祂也许使某地区不下雨。这不是说，祂不爱那地方的人。祂爱他们，但祂是有辨识的爱他们。同样，我们不该不爱圣徒。我们该爱众弟兄，但我们该有辨识的爱他们。

我们对圣徒的爱也总该照着度量或在界限之内。我们若过度爱某位弟兄，那爱也许就惯坏他。我们需要只爱他到某个地步就可以了。但另一位弟兄也许需要更大量的爱。这样爱别人，就是不仅仅以弟兄的情爱爱他们，更是以神圣的爱爱他们。

God's love is always with discernment. Matthew 5:45 tells us that God sends rain upon both the just and the unjust. But He does this with wisdom. Sometimes He may withhold rain from a certain region. This does not mean that He does not love the people in that place. He loves them, but He loves them with discernment. Likewise, we should not withhold love from the saints. We should love all the brothers, but we should love them with discernment. 

Our love for the saints should also always be according to a measure or within a limitation. If we love a brother excessively, that love may spoil him. We need to love him only to a certain extent. But another brother may be in need of a greater measure of love. To love others in this way is to love them not merely with brotherly affection but also with agape.
