loving others.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
so in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets

do i live my life with intentions driven by love?

i struggle with forgiveness and giving respect. my pride gets in the way of things.

but even those who are angry with their brothers would be subject to judgment
and those who even look at a person lustfully have already committed adultery in their hearts.

when even the intention itself amounts to judgment and your life can't be the superficial kind.

your attitude, your thoughts

wear the unblemished white dress to hide the spots beneath.
You don't look for that.


take the plank out of my eye.
i'm tripping into things, bumping into walls.

if i were in the other shoes, how would i want them to treat me?

i would cry, try fighting against the tide
"really, i'm sorry. i didn't mean things this way. i'm just
weak"

God, i don't know how to love
i do need grace.
