TOTD, October 14 - Deeply from the Heart

Deeply from the Heart

I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love. (Mother Theresa)

That is a very nice saying from Mother Theresa. But if we ask ourselves, are we able to do that right here- right now? Maybe the answer is: No or Not Yet. Many times, if we’re hurt, then we decide to stop loving. For example: a father and a son, fighting-arguing, and then not acknowledging one another anymore. We’ve heard this kind of story in this life, haven’t we? Or best friends turn into enemies because of betrayal, is also something that’s quite common in this life.

As Christ’s followers, we need to try our best to love one another. Deeply from the heart. Even though it might be so hard, even though it might be painful and hurt… We need to try our best to love one another. Don’t take revenge, try to forgive others. Because by forgiving, we’re the ones who accept the peace within. And nobody is perfect. All of us are sinners who have been loved so much by Jesus. (-fon-)

Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart.

--- 1 Peter 1:22
