Ezekiel
33:7-9. Romans 13:8-10. Matthew 18:15-20
You are a beloved child of your
loving heavenly Father: I speak
to every one of the sons and daughters
of the Lord your God, father of
all born into His world. And that
love enters the very being of the
Father’s child and calls for
response both to Him and also to
their brothers and their sisters
near and far. And as response is
made love grows by what it feeds
on, its power increasing as loving
action and relationship in family,
community and people are sought
and practised in all things and
in all relationships.
Each and every one is their ‘brother’s
keeper’, required to care
for their brothers and their sisters
near and far and - individually
and in the fellowship of community
- give generously, heart and mind
united in the well-being of one
and all, according to the Father’s
will and loving purpose.
‘Love is the one thing that
cannot hurt your neighbour; that
is why it is the answer to every
one of the commandments’ (Romans
13:10)
