Love Who?

"One of the first things to do, is to Love everybody. If you have not done this, begin to do so at once." Ernest Holmes, Science Of Mind, Text p.298.3

Simple, eloquent, life affirming advice. Simple, yes, easy, not so much. Well, not always, not with everyone, all the time. It's easy to love everyone across the globe. Especially those people who are far, far away. The ones we never run across are the easiest to love, aren't they, because we don't have to deal with them! We can love everybody - at a distance! It's those people we bump up against on a daily basis that make it so difficult to love! Family, friends, the drivers on the freeway, the slow pokes in front of us and the speed demons coming up on our tails - those are the people that bug us.
And that's why we call it,"a spiritual PRACTICE." We are practicing all the time. We are forever being reminded to practice, practice, practice, being the Love in the world. We are forever being given opportunities to be the love in the world. We are forever at choice to, "be the change we seek" in the world.
So, just for today, let us be the love. Let us be the thing we seek. Let's strengthen our practice, like being at the gym of our consciousness, and let's give our love a work out! Just for today, love everybody.
