I express love for others through prayer.
Treating
others with love and kindness is a tenet of many religions and belief
systems. Spiritual masters have taught the importance of love and
compassion for others, even those who differ from or oppose us. Jesus
said “love your neighbor as yourself,” and Jesus and the Buddha both
taught us to love our enemies. I can express love for others through prayer. I hold others in loving
thought as I affirm their connection to God and envision their highest
good unfolding. I do not judge past behaviors or future outcomes.
Instead, I trust that divine order is at work in their lives. I pray for
others with compassion and express unconditional love.
“You
shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.” But I say ... Love your
enemies and pray for those who persecute you.—Matthew 5:43-44
