extreme gentleness … (01/21/13)

“Though I was initially disappointed at being categorized as an extremist, I gradually gained a measure of satisfaction from the label.

After all, was not Jesus an extremist for Love, telling us to Love our enemies, bless those who curse us, and do good to them that hate us?

So I guess the real question we all face is not whether or not we will be extremists … but rather what kind of extremists we will be.

Will we be extremists for hate,
will we be extremists for indifference,
… or will we be extremists for Love?”
