More & more

"Now about brotherly love we do not need to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other. And in fact, you do love all the brothers throughout Macedonia. Yet we urge you, brothers, to do so more and more. I Thess 4:9-10

Love - this is what we are called to do in Nepal:
...the people on the airplane
...at the ticket counter
...the taxi drivers
...the unlovely & unnoticed
...the sick & the well
...the hurting & the arrogant
...the pastors & the peons (yep, that's what the janitor-types are called
...oh yes - and each other!

More & more - meaning a continual, proactive, disciplined choice & effort. Not waiting 'til I feel like it, not waiting for some wishy-washy emotion that may come & go capriciously - but a fierce, determined, practiced action.

Fill us, Lord, with the determination to love more & more, as we choose to become more like You & seek to be filled by You - for we can never accomplish this on our own.
