I believe it was Thomas Merton who said this:
A tormenting sense of unworthiness is the root of hatred.
True.
Love is the answer, the solution, the resolution and the way to change ourselves and the world – one person at a time. I try to follow the One who said this:
1. Love God with all you have.
2. Love others as you love yourself.
My worthiness and my identity are found in being a beloved child of God. He loves me in spite of my many flaws and failings, my sin and stupidity, etc. I love me because God loves me. My call and challenge is to demonstrate that to others by loving them.
Lord, help me.
