The Way Of Love!
The question was “what is love exactly”? Love, as an action, is the only thing that has ever changed the world for the better. Love is Martin Luther King, Mahatma Gandhi…. Love is a little girl in Pakistan named Malala Yousafzai standing up to men who said that girls shouldn’t be educated…. Love is someone protesting anything that harms the children of God. Love is a commitment to seek the good and to work for the welfare of others. It doesn’t stop at our front door or our neighborhood, our religion or race, our state or our country’s border. Where selfishness excludes, love makes room. Where selfishness puts down, love lifts up. Where selfishness hurts and harms, love helps and heals. Where selfishness enslaves, love sets free and liberates. I look around me and I don’t see much love in our country. I don’t see others letting someone in front of them. I don’t see others loving people except for friends and family. I even have a friend that can’t bring himself to say “I Love You” because he is afraid others may think he is gay. I worry about those that claim to follow the heart of Christ but can’t express love. The way of love will show us the right thing to do, every single time. It is spiritual grounding—a place of rest—amid the chaos that is often part of life. It’s how we stay decent in indecent times. Loving is not always easy, but like with muscles, we get stronger with repetition and as the burden gets heavier.
I Love You! Perry
