Romans 11:16 … The Holy Root (10/13/16)
“If the root is Holy, then the branches are also Holy.”
~ Paul (Romans 11:16)
In other words, if our intentions are truly Loving, our subsequent deeds will be commensurately considerate & overtly gentle – and thus will also be laden with Peace … That having been said, these same Good Deeds might still be rejected or even used by their recipients to summon forth insult or entrench injury, and yet Right Actions they were when given nonetheless …
Of course, whenever a recipient of selfless Love uses the same to further or even intensify his or her suffering, then the form of Love so misused should not be offered again — Love should still be offered; just in a different way than before. And it is important to remember that it is always far better to err on the side of Giving LOVE than it is to refuse to show Care out of fear that said Kindness will be incorrectly received or aggressively considered.
In essence, if we Give humbly — with intentions both gentle & kind — and if we gently persist in that sincere Giving, then Beauty & Peace at some point are almost sure to blossom forth as a result.
