The perfection of our connections is established in Spirit, as the Scriptures assure us. We’re forever at one with God, and through God, with each other.
Aggressive language, virulent attacks, and the tendency to think of those whose policies we oppose as enemies are not only anti-democratic actions and notions but also profoundly alien to our true selves.
Could it be that something indefinable tugs at our hearts, making us yearn for the truth that Christ Jesus says makes us free and promising comfort and healing to the worried, sorrowing, or sick?
If we are ever tempted to try to avoid an experience we believe might be uncomfortable, cultivating a desire to love, by being willing to listen to Love and feel Love’s presence, turns thought to the Christ and gives us courage beyond our own will.
