Benevolence —
the true reason of His.
Loving from our core
because we understand this.
Not a sappy love
or the emotion we know.
Not a sexual love
or the feelings that grow.
It’s selfless and sacrificial.
What we tend not to be
It’s Agape love
and with Him, we see.
We notice our heart
and its controlling ways.
We look past all our hurts
and unwanted days
and care for our enemies
because that’s who He is.
They may not deserve it,
but, they’re also His.
They are also His children
and not ours to adjudicate.
We need to remember,
He’s the true Magistrate.
If you saw a starving Muslim
would you refuse to feed him
because you’re a Christian
and you’ve been taught to hate them?
Or would you give kindly
a piece of your bread
because he is human…
You remember He said,
“Love thy neighbor”
He didn’t say, “except for…”
Goodwill and charity
should be at our core.
He commanded we love
and push aside what we hate.
He wants us to learn
in our fallen state
to look beyond our emotion
and “feelings” of love
and know His true heart
as we rise above
the pride that we carry
in all of our sin
and embrace benevolence —
the very essence of Him.
Very well said. Full of truth. Love this.
