what is a good way to love?

i find myself asking this question often. In lots of different situations. I feel like I am not doing a very good job of it. We are called to love. Even those whom seem like they don't deserve it right? I find that my heart is hard at times even to those who only deserve the best love. I don't know if its because i have recently been questioning love as a whole. What does it mean to love wholly? Tonight, I met a homeless person. Two actually. But i got to really talk to one of them. I could see the struggle in his eyes. The hurt, the pain, the anger. It was almost at any moment he would lash out at me. I was scared. All i could do was pray for him. I didn't know what else to do. I felt compassion for him, but i was also angry with him for being drunk or on whatever drugs he was on. I don't know where the line is. The line of trusting people and being able to just love them and accept them even when there is clearly evil inside of them. God commands us to pray for our enemies as well as our friends. I shall constantly be reminded of this daily by looking at my feet. Its time i start to really do something about it....
seriously.

God is love!
