Jesus’ Revelation is to teach us to love.

I look at it this way:

A child without any disability wasn’t born knowing how to walk, after months of laying on their backs they first learn to crawl (bottom shuffle etc). Their parents didn’t say at this stage ‘You can’t walk, you’re a crawler, the rest is a waste of time, you’ll never do it, you keep falling over, so we’ll push you aside and lose hope in you because you’ll always be a crawler’, that really would be a harsh judgement to pass!Instead the parent encourages them to reach the next stage of their development and gives them every tool and aid to attain that next stage.

In the same way God does this with our spiritual development, that is our growth in love. We are not born walking spiritually, we are back-layers, rollers, bottom shufflers and crawlers of the knowledge and practise of love that is faith.

The parent has great patience, love and kindness with the little child who is struggling so hard to develop. This is also true of God’s patience, love and kindness with His Children and so those people who have been blessed with the grace of faith must exercise great patience, love and kindness.

It’s true that the only Jesus some people may ever know is the one that you show them in your love, patience, mercy and kindness to them.

We are all learning from the Divine Teacher and as in all things people learn in different ways, at different paces, with different set backs and different leaps of progress.

I don’t know anyone who isnt a sinner, we are all shuffling, some days we shuffle better than others so best not to judge and best to work on our own shuffling!😃

In my prayers
i don’t think its judging to decide that some people should not neter into our inner sanctum… (or am i understanding what u are replying to??). Maybe i have the wrong post…). If you are referring 2 unconditional love, same thing. Its not judgmental 2 state an opinion… (born from experience, more than likely).
 
I don’t believe human beings are capable of unconditional love. They say they are, thye think they are, but when tested, they fail every time… Only God loves that way. And those who love Jesus will try to love that way but will usually fail.
Hi distracted, I really don’t think that you are compleatly right in saying “every human being are uncapable” because if that were so then why would Jesus say “be perfect as our Father in Heaven is” and also we know tha the bible tells us that we are made to Gods likeness, be it that it is a likeness a glim shadow as Paul tells us “what I know now is a shadow of what I will know then”.
Take Mary for instance who the angel said to her “hail Mary FULL OF GRACE” surly full meens full to capacity. The angel cannot lie to or about her.
I believe that the more we let go of the world and let God and fall in love with God the more grace we are given and the more we will realise how little we really know and will wont to attain more thus giving ourself more readily to God to attain the graces God wishes that person to have.

God bless

Your message came to Contramundum7 and not distracted, but o well, we know each other… What was meant was that people cannot love unconditionally without Jesus in their hearts… Jesus (God) is the only one who truly loves that way. Man is capable only if he is connected to God - Father, Son & Holy spirit… Even then, some people act like they can’t even tolerate someone, much less love him/her unconditonally. People love family members that way (?), but not everyone they meet. As you quoted scripture, we are required to be perfect & that means loving everyone… but that’s not too easy soemtimes… Anyway, I got a lot of grace out of reading your comments. Thanks. God bless…
