The Way
By Nickers Beauchamps
For me it’s simple, my religion, my philosophy, my way of life, and the answer for human kind is Love. Not just love for the complexity of sexual love, but genuine and unconditional love for each other. I imagine a world in our society where neighbors actually have genuine and unconditional love for one another.
Love is everything, the key to life and its influences are those that move the world. The type of love where we are being tender and gentle in all things. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr said this, “I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.”
Have you ever loved anything or anyone so much so that you just love and give, not ask anything in return, and you never felt like you’re giving something?
That’s the type of love I’m talking about, that way and that kind of love can change the world!
In The Parable of the Good Samaritan
Luke 10:25–37
On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
“What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”
He answered, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind and love your neighbor as yourself.”
“You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”
But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “and who is my neighbor?”
In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii, and gave them to the innkeeper. “Look after him,” he said, “and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.”
“Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”
The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”
Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”
Can you imagine a world like that?
There is no judging a religion, because at the end of the day, your religion is your way of having communion with God. There is no right or wrong way to having communion with God, it’s all up to you, but it’s as simple as love.
We should really get in the habit of loving our neighbors. Don’t doubt that you can love, nothing stands between man and his highest ideals, and every desire of his heart, but doubt and fear. Put doubt and fear aside and love freely.
There is a deep scientific underlying, that if you would have all the world love you, you must first love all the world. As much love you show others, it will come back to you, so love all regardless of what they do.
It’s thinking of loving your neighbor in your secret thought be fair, because every thought we entertain is a force that goes out, and every thought comes back weighed down with a load of its own kind.
The more we love others the closer we get to God, because God is the ultimate spirit of love. When we come to realize our oneness with the spirit of God, then divine love will fill us, enriching our lives, from then it flows out to enhance the life of everyone around us and spreads throughout the world.
So let’s think love, that’s the start. Sow a thought, reap an action, sow an action, reap a habit, sow a habit, reap a character, sow a character, reap a destiny. Love is everyone’s destiny, one thought at a time let’s start loving, because love is indispensable!
Writing

A relaxing breath.
A delightful part of life.
Very therapeutic,
Amazingly beautiful,
Brings healing and recovery,
Rejuvenation and transformation.
A momentary escape.
A release from the binds
Of all negative emotions.
Writing a virtuous art.
