The lesson of love

i was watching an animation, in it, the main character, a Japanese swordsman was able to fight without killing. His opponents didn't understand him. If you fought without killing, your strength would diminish; but he believed that his sword was used to protect people, not to kill.

It's easier to be angry than to love. The christian ideal, love, is actually the hardest thing to master among everything else. God is love. A hard lesson to learn indeed.

There was a time when just about anyone could push my buttons. But remember now, it wasn't my fault that I became angry and lashed back even harder then I was attacked. It was their fault ... it was all their doing.

I prayed to God to please change all these people so that they will be kind to me. He said no... instead I will change you.

He did.

I have never been happier or more at peace. It is hard for others to fight with you when all you give back is LOVE.
