| Take a minute to examine your heart. What is motive for wanting to warn this person? Is there genuine love and concern? Is there even a hint of wanting to get back at him? Knowing myself, if I had thoughts of wanting to "warn" someone, it's b/c lurking within is that ever so subtle desire to see them get what they have sown. It's the times when I have only responded in love without a thought of evil befalling the person that I saw "the curse" fall on them. And I did not rejoice. It stunned me. It was sobering.

Second, practice your religion without adulterating it or toning it down. Third, emphasize love and make it your working force, for love is central in Christianity. Fourth, study the non-Christian religions more sympathetically to find the good that is within them in order to have a more sympathetic approach to the people.” |
