John 15:12
“This is my commandment: love one another as I love you.”

This one line is enough to keep each of us busy the rest of our lives without judging anyone else. Each of us is commanded to love one another…and that means everyone…even the ones who give us a hard time. Even our enemies! Jesus gave us the model for being human. He loved even when he was persecuted. He loved even when he was nailed to a cross. Jesus looked down from the cross at His persecutors and said, “Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.” They had not even asked for forgiveness! Each of us has turned our backs on Christ. Each of us has chosen to put our ego-centric desires first. This same Christ looks at us and says, “Father, forgive them, they know not what they do.” Sit for a moment and reflect on the amazing, unconditional, saving love of God for you. Allow it to transform you…and pass it on!
