True enough. Dannymac Send a noteboard - 31/08/2010 04:29:23 PM
I'd agree to 99% I think! :D

Though one part made me pause: "And when everyone reacts to your "love" as if you are hating them, then you need to pause for a moment and consider if you really are being as loving as you think you are."

True that it should make you pause, but I cannot imagine anyone being more loving than Jesus. Yet many people hated him and they even crucified him.

However I'm not Jesus and my pride can take me to unlovingness very soon indeed...


It's not an absolute truism for certain, not all love is reacted to well. But a lot of people who were loved by Jesus knew it for certain. And it's the martyr complex that gets so many would-be proponents of Christian Love in trouble in the first place.
