the greatest commandment

July 9th, 2008 by Justin

The highest purpose of man is to love
that is why we are here
love is the highest good
the most essential dogma.

to pour out oneself into others
to be completely spent on behalf of another
this is not a teaching of self denial
but of a reckless love that trancends culture, creed, race and gender

to the extent that any
ideology, religion or philosophy
restricts this great Love
it must be revised

no one comes to the father
except through this teaching of love
this is the faith that was passed
on to us

not in word but in deed
in love
not in god or in creed
but in love
