Good morning, DearHeart,
It’s only those who carry crosses who can know how there is a weight of the many complex things that bear down on people. Jesus said,
“Let me give you a new command: Love one another. In the same way I loved you, you love one another. This is how everyone will recognize that you are my disciples—when they see the love you have for each other.” John 13:34-35 MSG
They’ll know you are My disciples if you don’t label the
limping people,
the misunderstood people,
the people with a different ethnicity, skin colour, culture,
the depressed and struggling people,
the narcissistic people,
the mentally ill people, sick people, confused people, angry people, hurting people …
— but if you love them.
A kind of miracle happens when we don’t label people but simply and purely love them.
And love is ultimately not a flighty good feeling, but a steady quiet, prayerful current that could carry the loved person toward ultimate good.
Love is stubbornly praying for your ‘enemies’ till you see ‘enemies’ are illusions & God makes everyone grace in your life. A chosen one. A purpose. A lesson. A grace.
If we knew what current everyone was trying to battle, there isn’t even one person we wouldn’t help fight their current with the steady prayer of Greater Love.
Wake up.
See with Christ eyes.
