My beloved friend told me how her father told those he taught -
"Hold a pencil in front of you.
Now, "TRY" to drop the pencil.
See?
There is no "TRY."
There is only "DO," or do "NOT DO."
Well, this is why Jesus was all about WOULD. If you followed me you WOULD:
- Love as I have loved
- Do unto the least of these as you would do unto me
- Love the Almighty Powers with entire heart, mind, soul, strength...
- Love everyone born and unborn as yourself
- Love your enemy
- Love the stranger
- Lay down your life for the least of these
THERE IS NO ROOM FOR "SHOULD"
IN JESUS TEACHING.
"TRY" TO DROP THE PENCIL
YOU HOLD IN FRONT OF YOU.
IF YOU FOLLOWED ME YOU WOULD....
