Cling to What is Good

LOVE IS THE CAPACITY TO SEE both the good and evil in people but to love the good; to see both the excellent and mediocre but to encourage the excellent; to see the wellness and the sickness and to strengthen the wellness. Before all else, love is the capacity to see everyone and everything as interconnected, “held together” in one cosmic embrace.

- Robert Corin Morris
Provocative Grace: The Challenge in Jesus’ Words

Love is the abilitiy to see both sides of everything: the evil and the good, but cling to what is good. See the wellness in spite of sickness. Encourage the excellent despite mediocre. Love is the ability to see the positive sides. Love is the ability to accept weakness and love the strength. Let’s try to love in such ways starting this day. (-fon-)

Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.

--- Romans 12:9
