daily word
Is it more important to you to be respected or loved? You know that I am no respecter of persons. Do you view this precept in a negative sense? You may hunger for respect, but your need for love is real and much deeper. And though I respect no mans person, I am the perfect expression of love for every person. It is pride that hungers for respect. Love is not self-seeking or self-serving, and is not demanding of recognition. You need my love, and if you respond to it you will be transformed into my likeness. Then you will be less concerned about receiving respect and more able to love.
