A Place of Love

Why are we so concerned with how and who we love?
I’m more concerned with how and who we hate.
I know, I know, it runs contrary to the
Will of God – As if any of us can really know that.
I know, I know, if it was 500 years earlier,
I’d be branded a heretic and made to suffer
The consequences – which wouldn’t be pretty.
Well I may not know the will of God,
But I know what Jesus said – “Love thy neighbor”
And who is my neighbor? You are.
So when you see me beaten and bleeding for my
Heretical thoughts – Pour wine and oil on my wounds.
And take me to a place of love.
