Learning to love

I am finally starting to shed my callous heart, the 'old man's' heart who judged who should be loved, and love people as they should be. Not from my personal sense of it, but from the stand point of perfect God perfect Man.  "Man is the noblest work of God". From this stand point - I was free!

I spent 4 days in close quarters with an out of town family member.  This visit,  I was able to look beyond what I used to see, personal traits that I despised and deemed unworthy of my affection and care.  I refused to listen those hateful arguments that wanted to separate me from this person. I opened my heart and saw God's good all around me - which included this family member. 

The results were wonderful. I felt great, inspired and could open up my heart to meet all the needs of those around me - including the one who needed it the most.
