Went to a small gathering of couples tonight .. . By happenstance, we listed to a speaker talk about divisiveness, hate, bigotry, racism, political slandering . . . And often people use "selected" rules and viewpoints to support their position . . . Everyone looks for a loophole through which their behavior is condoned and justified . . .
In reality, we are simply called to love one another. Not love one another if they are this or that, or believe this or that, or have this style of behavior or that . . . It is not a wish, but a command. The command is simply "love one another". No conditions. No loopholes.
And then ask yourself today and every day, "What does love require of me?"
It was convicting, yet freeing. If we simply "love one another" unconditionally, so many issues just go away.
Love one another. I will try to do just that.
