LOVE IN REAL CONTRAST
Matthew 6:5-15
Close contact intensifies personal feeling, both hate and love. It’s harder to forgive your near kinsman than someone you never saw. Family feuds are always the bitterest. King George and Emperor William are cousins. The terrible war was a family fight. Does this explain its bitterness, partly? Yet we’re all brothers, blood brothers. We’re all sons of the one Father, creatively. Love that’s really love controls all of one’s contacts.
