In this wonderful opportunity called living, do you regularly consider giving your all toward sowing healing rather than destruction?

Making harmony rather than discord?

Creating peace rather than strife?

Making the world a better place to live in rather than living in such a manner people will be glad when finally you leave it? I’m sure your answer is yes, of course I want to be a good, loving human being. But now having said, yes, you are faced with the challenge of actually doing it.

Plato called love, “divine madness.” And to those who have heard but not completely understood the Lord’s teachings, the kind of love He calls for must really seem a little off the wall. Yet it is His commandments to follow an unselfish love that can keep us from being inhumane.

In simple terms, you cannot prayerfully think on the Lord, and hate your fellowman. You cannot pray to God, and mouth obscenities toward another human being.

Or, as that oft sung hymn relates, “Oh what peace we often forfeit, oh what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer.” I’d like to make an insert “carry everything WITH LOVE to God in prayer.”
