You know, sometimes I wonder if we all just focused on “loving one another as we love ourselves” — that second Great Commandment — if we just did THAT – all of us, regardless of political persuasion, religious affiliation, personal agenda – if we ALL just did THAT — I wonder if we might actually see the change we want to see in the world.

If we ALL committed to THAT couldn’t we create a world where fear and terror and murder and rape and hate and discontent and anxiety and doubt and judgment and loathing and persecution vanishes?

Couldn’t we do that?

We’re so “empowered” with tools and technology and “knowledge” and science and knowing and …. and…. and yet here we all are. In a place where the worst of ‘who we are’ is displayed on TV screens and bloody nightclub floors, and social media posts opining about who is REALLY to blame.

What would it look like if we — each of us individually – put on Jesus and really, truly loved one another? Like He did.
