commission vs commandment pt 2

When we go out to convert someone, we make them our project.  We have what they need and we are going to make sure they get it, whether they want it or not.

On the other hand, when we love someone, they simply receive the love.  They are not our project and they are not really even the object of our love.  Our love is not directed towards them, our love is directed towards everyone.  They just happen to be in earshot or heart-shot.

I want to suggest that the best way to convert someone is to love them.  If we can't love someone then we will never convert them.  Our words will always sound to them as a resounding, repeating gong that just won't stop.

Light of the world, shine on me, love is the answer.

It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
