If only

If we love, there is no room for hate. If we care, there is no excuse for indifference. If we understand, there is no judgment. YET, when we treat others with anything other than love, caring and understanding, do we really think we win?

We can only give what is in us to give. If, inside we carry anger, only anger will come out. You can’t pour apple juice from a pitcher full of lemonade. Just as you can’t find love in a heart full of hate. When we interact with others, do we really see and react to them or do we see and react to ourselves? We must stand as warriors against that which is negative. We must not let the enemy take a foothold in our lives. Forgive if you hold a grudge; embrace life with love where there is anger; understand the misunderstood.

McCartney/Lennon said it best: “...love is all you need.”
