Feel the Love (or Not)
Wednesday Self-Reflection
Today, I invite you to spend some time in silent consideration. Imagine me sitting with you and asking the following questions. Allow the time to turn into an internal conversation with me. I think this works best as a journalling exercise.
I’m sure you’ve heard the expression, “You can really feel the love”. What does that mean, to “feel the love”? How do you “feel the love”?
Have you ever seen or heard anyone do or say something extremely unloving to someone “because they loved them”? Is that love? Why or why not?
How hard is it for you to do loving things for people whom you do not feel love for? Think about the most recent time you did something loving for someone you don’t like? What did you have to do within yourself to make it happen?
Peace, Bo

Support the Cause
My mission is to promote the progressive Christian voice in the spiritual/theological marketplace. I hope that by doing so I will help make the world a more loving place one newsletter at a time.
If you are not already a paying subscriber, I encourage you to consider it. It takes many (many) hours each week to create all the content for this project, and by becoming a paid subscriber you support the greater mission through me.
Will you consider becoming a financial supporter of the mission for only $6 per month? If so, I would greatly appreciate it.
