Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all
the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all
the people you can, as long as ever you can.
John Wesley
_______________________________________
Christian ethics
are pretty simple really
Love God
Love the people around you
Not some of the people
All of the people
Love them no matter what color they are
Or what they believe
Love them whether they are rich or poor
drunk or sober
liberal or conservative
Love them when they are strong and productive
Love them when they are wounded
And hurting
Love them when
For whatever reason
You can’t like them
Just love them
Love them with loving speech
Love them through compassion
Love them with your actions
Love them with your attitude
Love them with your time
Love them with your giving
Love them by forgiving
And accepting
By seeing the seed of the sacred in them
No matter how twisted or blurred
Or hidden
The divine image might seem to you
That person in front of you
Is inherently precious
A child of God
A prince or princess
A child of the Ruler of All
So just love them
love them with all
the love (God)
that is in you
just love
(and don't forget to love yourself too)
