February 8, 2021--Teaching Love
The teaching of love addresses trespass
by asking us to model the behavior
we are expecting from the other person.
If a fearful or angry person strikes out at us
and we respond in fear or anger,
we have validated his behavior by repeating it.
But if we respond to his fear with love,
we have stood for the truth
and offered him an alternative.
We cannot teach love by committing an unloving act.
Only by acting in a loving manner
can we teach what love is.
