Loving Without Boundaries . . .

Is it possible to love without boundaries? When I speak of loving without boundaries I do not speak of your significant others, nor do I speak of Paternal nor sibling love. I am speaking of people that we meet on a day-to-day basis, our coworkers, our most difficult friends, strangers even.

Recently, I posted my New Years Resolution:

In case you are unable to see it, it states My New Years Resolution . . . March Forward with God, Expect Nothing, Love without Boundaries. A friend of mine then commented stating that she hopes that I will be able to give real effort to the latter (loving without boundaries).

Hence my question . . . Is it really possible to love without boundaries?! After all the hurt, the desire to smack some sense into people or like me, the great desire to just lock myself in a bubble away from them, away from their stupidity, away from their selfishness, away from BullSh*t!

According to scripture . . .

Matthew 5:43-45 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.”

The above verse, highlights that in spite of how different we feel that we are from others, we are all the same. We believe in class, I am of the upper class and you do not fit into my category, or I think I am too educated so I do not meddle with 'idiots', but how different do you believe that you are from another. Classic example, recently Jamaica suffered at the hands of the Chikungunya Virus (Chik V) and guess what, that virus was not a respecter of class, it walked across the island like Hurricane Gilbert, from the richest to the poorest, and we all felt the same pain, the pain that crippled us and rendered us unable to reach to the bathroom on time, the pain that caused sleep to be difficult, the itching that made us happily walk naked!

Another scripture that calls us to love is:

John 13:34-35  “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

That verse brings back a thought to mind, the thought that many "Christians" forget this verse. We choose who we love, and this choosing have caused us to treat other people as being non-existent. When Christ walked the earth, HE loved regardless of . . . When others frowned on his musings with the tax collector, HIS date with the woman at the well, HIS ability to forgive and wish well in spite of betrayal. 'Christians" need to be mindful that they are called to be "LIKE CHRIST" which outlines the mandate for you to love regardless of . . .

Yes, so many scriptures, but why not be practical?! I say that to love is practical, the same person that you express love to may not be able to return as how you expect, however, love will be returned to you via other avenues. Yes my people the Karma 'crap' is very much real.

I am not declaring that it is easy to do, because people are the hardest creatures to love, it is easier to love lions at times than human beings, however, my experiences have shown me that those that seem hardest to love, are those that need it the most.

I have not been successful with the aspect of "Loving Without Boundaries" in the past, however, I hope that I accomplish the task of Loving Without Boundaries, as:

First Peter 4:8  - “Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.”

Go forth, and set the world on fire with Love ! ! !
