Create peace, one action at a time.
"God's Heart"--Nicholas, age 3
"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them. ... But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. ... Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful."
--Jesus
(from Luke 6:32, 35, 36,
New International Version)
"Do I have to?! "
(I sound like my 5 year old.) Yes, God says so.
First, I have to think about who is my enemy. Is it someone who cuts me off in traffic? Someone who has different views than I do? Enemy is a harsh word. Is "enemy" reserved for people who ram planes into buildings? If so, then our country's leaders have not been reading Luke. Or is it possible to love an enemy and still drop bombs on them?
No no no. This site's just for things I can do today, not for international policy. SO... Today I can let someone into my traffic lane. I can forgive a wrong done to me (imagined or real). Easy for me to say.
