Morning Meditation Day 88
Today I seek to love even those whom I do not like.
Today I seek to love even those whom I do not like.
Like everyone, I have my prejudices – my opinions about those who do not agree with my view of the world. Yet my incapacity to love them is my own contribution to the fears that plague the planet. Today I seek to love even those I cannot bring myself to like.
I devote my day to blessing those whom I do not like, knowing that if I knew them as God knows them, then I would love them as He does. I ask not that they change but that I might see them more truly. May their eternal innocence become obvious to me.
Dear God,
I am willing to see the love
In everyone, including those whom I do not like.
I am willing to see the innocence in those I judge
And the beauty in those I am tempted to condemn.
Please heal my mind of its own darkness.
Amen.
Today I seek to love those whom I do not like.
This is a huge pull for me, just like for a lot of other 'Transformers'. I surround myself with loving people whom I love as well. I don't know how to love people who constantly and severely punish people who need help and support. And who keep taking support away from more people. Occasionally I can lift this veil of hatred and anger but the pain of seeing needy people , including myself, continually attacked with no pause saps my energy and the veil drops down. I pray for enlightenment and love.
That's a huge stretch for me. Thanks for the challenge... I have a ways to go, obviously.
