Let us make mankind in our image
One of the biggest challenges every person face in life is to start loving every day. Every day is a new opportunity to love the people around you, to start loving in a new way, to start loving in a fresh way. This is the art of loving.
The love you gave to your neighbour, your family, your work colleague a year ago is in the past. The love you gave a month ago, a week ago, yesterday, a minute ago… is all in the past. What matters most is the love you give in the present moment. Are you loving your neighbour, your family, your work colleagues now, precisely in this present moment? Are you loving in a new way every day, even if it is a repetitive act of love?
The way you love your family every day by ironing their clothes on a daily basis could be a repetitive act of love. Or, the way you loved your poor neighbour by helping them with their errands could also be a repetitive act of love. But are you doing this in a new way every day, forgetting and emptying yourself of the way you loved a month ago, yesterday?
We are to start loving every day in a new way. We are to love unconditionally… just as Jesus loves us.
So, the challenge is there for you… to start loving every day in a new way.
