AGAPE

(New thoughts are added each Sun, Tues and Thurs)

Would you want to clone yourself? Apart from the amoral aspects of such a question, would the creating of two of you make the world twice as better or twice as worse. Perhaps it would solve the problem of loving your neighbor as yourself because then your neighbor would be yourself.

But your real neighbor, your real church family member does do things differently, doesn’t he? She? Is all wrapped up in being the only self they’ve ever known. And you do not always shout out, “Viva la difference.” No, too often you want to change them; how they talk, how they act, even how they think. You want them to be perfect? Well, no not that. But certainly more like you.

This isn’t a description of you? Good. We are all blessed by the fact.

Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 1 John 4:11
