Out there some people might feel unloved. Very so often what they need is a droplet of compassion to see that they are infact loved. Once one's heart realizes God's love and be surrounded by it, the person is overwhelmed with joy and thanksgiving. It is in the confidence of Lord's unconditional and ultimate love toward us, then we have no fear to love and make room for anybody, even to our enemies.
When we fail to see Lord's mercy which has been bestowed upon us, and thereby fail to have awe and fear before His greatness, our love toward others becomes cold. Acts of mercy and compassion would only be possible if we cling to the Lord, because it flows from the heart that is full of gratitude and amazement toward God's mighty work. Keeping our heart warm with the grace from the Holy and Life giving Spirit, we can be a healing presence for others. That is why it is essential for us to keep our mind pure and humble before the Lord not merely by being pious or religious but by being sincere in our repentance.
We are being invited to respond the Lord's indescribable love by saying yes to His Holy Will at any moment. We are created in love, through love and for love of Him. What is more glorious and joyous than being called His own inheritance? Having constant rememberance of Him before our eyes encouraged us to be connected to the Source of all that is good! Only in Him, because apart of Him we can do nothing.
Lots of time, the most difficult person to love is the one who is disconnected, isolated and hid himself in dishonesty. Wounds and disappointments can be so dominant in one's mind, that he mistrusts sincere love from his neighbour. Even in receiving mercy and love it is necessary to put off pride and self-preoccupation, what is more in giving. We need to humble ourselves to reach out and to embrace others, bestowing mercy and forgiveness to each other. Let's get connected, because that is the door of care and love.
