"Unbiased love is undoubtedly difficult to generate, but if you practice with determination, day by day your attitude will be transformed."
Great quote, isn't it? You must wonder what brilliant theologian said it since I am posting it here. It might surprise you that this is from the Dalai Lama. I have always been a fan of his and have read a number of his books over the years. I respect a man who can always find a smile even though his past would destroy the average person. I wanted to post this because I see Christians losing sight of wisdom all too often. Yes, we take inspiration from Christ, and we should. However, we are remiss to ignore wisdom wherever it is found. His Holiness is correct, unbiased love will transform our lives. The New Testament is full of language to support his quote so I urge you all to get out and seek benevolence everywhere and bring it into your Faith and then share it to the world.
Romans 13:8-10 (NET) Owe no one anything, except to love one another, for the one who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, “Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not covet,” (and if there is any other commandment) are summed up in this, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
