Love Each other.

Love each other.

     Love each other is a phrase we hear all the time, Love each other as I loved you, John 15:12.

Do we?

Do we really love each other like Jesus loves us?

And as you can see all over the news these days, the answer is: NO.

As a matter of fact, we hate each other every single day, we have something that we don't like about each other, every single day; we don't like what the other person says about us, or says about someone else, and that's it, we burst away with our anger, we start a self inflicted emotional revolution that separates us from the single most meaningful daily purpose of loving each other like Jesus does.

     This racism, is irrational, we give free rein to our most vicious thoughts, and thoughts travel so fast to our core, making its way all the way to our hearts, creating an emotion that didn't even exist there in there first place, we didn't even try to stop it to breath for five seconds, step away and let go of the foreign emotion.

     We need to start right at home, where everything can be solved, we need to start with us, clean that human we hate the most: us.

     We don't hate the other, we hate what we see in them, the color of their skin, is the color of our soul. We are the ones out of control, not the protestors out on the streets all around the world.

     We need to conquer our emotional battles first, in order to not be haters. We need to love us first, there are layers of hate and resentment, past bad decisions, sadness and pain, hereditary who knows what kind of mixed negative emotions, that we must work on to make ourselves free again; we must be able to claim a new human being capable of loving just to love, with no other expectation but to love, only because is the way of life.

     We can make this possible, there is always room for hope, the good news is that, love is an endless source, so we don't have to worry about any shortage of this infinite connection that we have with our God.
