Today’s daily mediation from HenriNouwen.org is worth sharing:
Often we speak about love as if it is a feeling. But if we wait for a
feeling of love before loving, we may never learn to love well. The
feeling of love is beautiful and life-giving, but our loving cannot be
based in that feeling. To love is to think, speak, and act according to
the spiritual knowledge that we are infinitely loved by God and called
to make that love visible in this world.
Mostly we know what the loving thing to do is. When we “do” love, even if others are not able to respond with love, we will discover that our feelings catch up with our acts.
