Love Jesus, 29 of 40

So, a few years ago I thought about putting this up anonymously around Seminary. It was during a time when multiple wars were starting and people, both outside of and inside of the church were beginning to preach vengeance and hate a little more and grace and love a little less. Since then I have seen our world become ever more divided and divisive, and so I now post it here. It was true then, it is true now, and if we are to call ourselves Christians, literally little Christs, then perhaps we need to start loving the people Jesus loves.

I love Bin Laden and you should too
I love Saddam and you should too
I love the righteous and you should too
I love sinners and you should too
I love straights and you should too
I love gays and you should too
I love Catholics and you should too
I love Protestants and you should too
I even love Evangelicals and Fundamentalists

I love Americans and you should too
I love Iraqis and you should too
I love truth seekers and you should too
I love liars and you should too
I love all races and you should too
I love all ages and you should too
I love those that love and you should too
I love haters and you should too
I even love the lukewarm among you

I love conservatives and you should too
I love liberals and you should too
I love Republicans and you should too
I love Democrats and you should too
I love Independents and you should too
I love Muslims and you should too
I love Jews and you should too
I love Hindus and you should too
I even love Atheists and Agnostics

I love pacifists and you should too
I love war hawks and you should too
I love women preachers and you should too
I love male preachers and you should too
I love singleness and you should too
I love marriages and you should too
I love lifelong love and you should too
I love divorcees and you should too
I even love you, and you should too

sincerely,
Jesus

Peace and Love,
Pastor K
