If you need a reason it isn't love.
A long time ago I thought that love was something that you reserved for some special set of people that you had judged worthy of it.
After a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing.
Judging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do.
I thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time.
I realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do.
If I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking.
I still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I’m making progress.
Love and blessings
Your brother

Not getting into royal details of the daily real life drama.... but in R&S I love Going Postal because he's so cute and sweet! and he gives a darn about me and likes Chuck Norris and has a good sense of humor!!!!!!!!!!
**kisses to Postal**
My love, this song is to you:
"everytime I look at you
Baby I see something new
That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more
I don't wanna sleep tonight
Dreamin's just a waste of time
When I look in what my life's been coming to
I'm all about loving you"
...and this is my version I made to my postal:
"Everytime I look at your avatar
Baby i see you look tought
That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more
I don't wanna log off tonight
Logging off is just a waste of time
When I look in what my life's been Postaling to
I'm all about **blushes** crushing you"

It sounds like such a simple question. Why does the answer have to be so complicated?

I love a ton of people
I love Obamma because the Bible says to love my enemies
I love my family because they are my family
I love other Christians because the Holy Spirit causes me to
I love lost folks because my Father in heaven loved me when I was one
I love Rachel because she is very special to me

I love several people, my boyfriend, my parents, my brother and sister, my close friends. For various reasons, but generally just because we're there for each other.
