Sow Love

Sow love,

Francis of Assisi wrote,
“Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where these is hatred, let me sow love.” 
                                                                                                         Francis of Assisi.
This is a concept we can all understand whether we are Christian or not. The world needs more love and understanding.
One young girl who understood what it was to live in a world full of hate was Anne Frank. Anne was hidden from the Nazis in the Netherlands for a number of years until she was captured sent to a death camp where she eventually died.
Anne with all the hate swirling around her was able to write,
“Give of yourself, give as much as you can?  And you can always, always give something, even if it is only kindness!  If everyone were to do this and not be as mean with a kindly word, then there would be much more justice and love in the world.  Give and you shall receive, much more than you would have ever thought possible.  Give, give again and again, don’t lose courage, keep it up and go on giving!  No one has ever become poor from giving!”                                                                                                                                                      Anne Frank.
We need more love in the world. All around the world there are terrorist groups spewing hate murdering and killing seemingly at will.
Even here in the western nations while we live in relative peace our society seems to be lacking in many ways in kindness.
A man buys an essential drug needed to keep people healthy and jacks the price of it up by thousands of dollars. For his own greedy gain. And it’s not only him drug manufacturers are pricing drugs so high the people that need them can’t afford them.
On our city streets young people and old are killing one another over trivial things. Our politicians while saying they are helping the poor are quick to give the wealthy tax cuts, and little to the poor.
For me I believe this is happening because our society is losing it’s fear of God. They truly don’t believe there will be any consequences for their actions. When people feel they wont be held accountable for their actions they will do almost anything.
I truly believe the words of Ecclesiastes who states,
“Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole  duty  of man. 
For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.” 
     Ecclesiastes 12:13,14.
If I am wrong no one needs to worry. However if I am right and I believe I am, many people have a lot to fear when they pass from this life.
Please think about it.
