How to Love
So I was in this fraternatiy, yes fraternity, it's for both girls and guys, but my hopes of it being a good thing have been crushed. I bought what they were selling about friendship and harmony but it was totally bogus. They don't mean that. I have seen first hand the backstabbing and drama that goes on. A couple of these people were my friends but after hearing the way they talked about other people i just don't know if I can be friends with them. I certainly cannot trust them. They are very worldly and satan is using them to burn people and cause discord. The way they bash people they don't like is terrible. My question is: How do I continue loving these kinds of people. I don't want to be friends with them but they do need Jesus and their aren't that many people willing to show it to them. I feel like I'm one of the only people who can show them but after seeing the way they act I don't want to show them. I know I need to love them but I'm not sure how to do that. I know I should be nice but they are anything but nice. In the Bible it talks about a people who lie and wait for prey. I don't want to be prey. I want to protect myself and my reputation. Yet they need to know Jesus's love. I'm for sure quitting the fraternity the questions is if how do I continue to talk to those who WERE my friends and be nice to them. They don't deserve anyone being nice to them. I guess I should just pray about it. I know I need to be nice. I can do that but I won't talk about anything real with them. Just small talk. That is all I suppose. Just can't figure this out.

43Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
44But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
