What does the phrase love thy neighbor as thyself… mean to you?
Is it that I have to love the other as I love myself?
What if the “other” is evil and not worthy of my love?
It’s time to ponder the meaning of the above phrase, when it comes to your personal story.
The story you have been repeating in your own mind for a long time ..
You’re probably saying to yourself, but how can I force myself to love someone?
Very simple, you choose.
If you believe our biggest motivation is to be God like, meaning, to afford unconditional love and give wholeheartedly, you realize that all we are asked to do is to love one another.
God’s essence is infinite love. He doesn’t give less or stop loving us when we are “bad”…
Once He puts limitations on His love, He becomes limited, He is no longer infinite.
Ask yourself, does the sun discriminate between the righteous and the wicked?
Do the sun’s rays reach only the righteous?
So you see, we also need to love those we see as unworthy of our love, because that is our true essence – that is why we are all here – to share our love.
