Have mercy upon your children and nurture them in love, for love is the foundation of all that is holy and good.

There is a significant difference between scriptural teachings before Christ and those that followed after Christ. 

Let us evolve from the old ways, where "an eye for an eye" was the norm, and embrace the teachings of Christ, who taught that the meek shall inherit the earth and the pure of heart shall see the Lord, receiving the Holy Spirit in wisdom, salvation, and redemption.

Even after over 2,000 years, Christ's teachings remain as relevant and transformative as ever.

For at times, we find ourselves caught in the fears and insecurities reminiscent of Caesar, where some believe that power and control equate to strength, rather than recognizing that meekness allows for and brings forth knowledge and wisdom that transcends the ages.

How can one commune with and receive the Holy Spirit in love if one is not meek? 

How can we discern and solve the world's problems in a state of rage, fear, or anger?

How can one learn anything if they remain closed off to love, seeking only narcissistic power and control?

Where, then, is your communion with the Holy Spirit and the Lord? 

How can one commune with the Holy Spirit and the Lord without a pure heart, especially when burdened and blocked by the sins of lust and greed?

Let us fulfill the covenant with the Lord by loving the Lord with all our hearts, souls, and minds, and by loving our neighbors as ourselves in fellowship. 

And let us have mercy on our children, raising and nurturing them in love while teaching them the ways of love through the Holy Spirit and the Lord. 

🕊
