When I was a child I thought like a child. What I saw was filtered through the glass of my own cultural, religious and historical situation at that time. But I must constantly put away those aspects of my life which I have outgrown, and appropriate the truth and knowledge that life continues to reveal to me. That responsibility can only be fulfilled through the power love. Love of God, love of Neighbor, love of Self.
Love is nurtured by truth and knowledge and sustained by experience.
Love is not limited by tradition, scripture, doctrine or history. Love does not insist on its own way. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. It is only through love that we can ever hope to understand, even as we have been fully understood.
