No Excuses, You Have To Love Your Neighbor

My Beloved Child,

I reach out to you with a heart full of love, knowing the journeys we embark upon in this life can often lead us down paths shaped by misunderstanding and fear. It is my desire today to share with you a message of unity, love, and the boundless grace that enfolds each one of us.

Remember the story of the Good Samaritan, a tale not just of unexpected kindness, but a profound lesson on the essence of neighborly love. It was not the man’s nationality, his status, or his beliefs that defined his actions; it was his capacity to show compassion to one he might have considered a stranger, or even an adversary. In his heart, there was no room for division, only the boundless embrace of love.

I have always taught that love knows no boundaries. It does not discriminate on the basis of where someone comes from, the color of their skin, or the traditions they hold dear. Love, in its purest form, sees beyond the superficial labels society may place upon us. It recognizes the divine spark that resides within every soul.

You are wonderfully made, unique, and cherished. But remember, so is every person you meet. Each one of you is a reflection of the divine, created with purpose and imbued with the potential to manifest love and kindness in this world. When you allow judgments or preconceived notions to cloud your heart, you not only diminish the light within others; you also dim the light within yourself.

I urge you, then, to look upon others with eyes unclouded by prejudice. Seek to understand their stories, their struggles, and their dreams. In doing so, you will discover the richness of diversity and the true meaning of community. The kingdom of heaven is likened to a great feast, where all are invited to sit at the table, regardless of where they come from or the paths they have walked. It is a place where love reigns supreme, and unity is found in the acknowledgment of our shared humanity.

Let your heart be transformed by the renewing power of love. Let it guide you to actions that heal, rather than divide; to words that uplift, rather than demean. For in the end, it is love that will unite us, love that will save us, and love that will lead us home.
