it's a new day

as for me, i will preach love.
not easy love- love that loves those that are kind, that smile, and that smell nice.
love that loves those that are crying, that have abortions, that hurt others, and that steal from the innocent.
i will not get this right every time, or even at all.
in truth, i will fuck this up (i use that word not to shock or offend, but because it is the only word that seems strong enough to express how badly i will do this sometimes).
but this is God, this is the gospel, and this is our call.


""Here is a simple rule of thumb for behavior: Ask yourself what you want people to do for you; then grab the initiative and do it for them! If you only love the lovable, do you expect a pat on the back? Run-of-the-mill sinners do that. If you only help those who help you, do you expect a medal? Garden-variety sinners do that. If you only give for what you hope to get out of it, do you think that's charity? The stingiest of pawnbrokers does that.

I tell you, love your enemies. Help and give without expecting a return. You'll never—I promise—regret it. Live out this God-created identity the way our Father lives toward us, generously and graciously, even when we're at our worst. Our Father is kind; you be kind."

Luke 6:31-36
