Do we?
I thought I did, but confess there are many feelings within me that aren’t very loving toward people who don’t act and think like me. Please God, forgive me and heal me, so I might be a help rather than a hindrance. That I might be able to hear the fears and concerns of people not like me.
As I’ve spent time praying, I’m drawn back to the basics of my faith, of a power greater than myself, which I call God.
God lovingly created the sun, moon, stars, air, water, vegetation, animals, and humans - a creation with everything needed to survive and thrive. Then God gave us humans the gift of choice. How we choose to interact is up to us. In any given situation, the choices we make have an effect on the outcome. Will my actions emulate the characteristics of love or hate?
