When Jesus was asked which was the greatest of the commandments,
he replied: to love God and the other which is like unto it, to love your
neighbor just like yourself. Some might consider this easy but it’s really not.
Jesus understood well what he said, it wasn't a mistake.
He knew without loving your neighbor as yourself, you can never
love or have relationship with God. How can you hate your neighbor and claim to
love God? It is impossible.
One of the reasons why we find it hard to love is the way we
pass judgment over others as if we are perfect too.
We have become a generation of hypocrites. God knows this and
that's why it is written, "judge not
so you would not be judged."
He knows it is impossible to show love to someone you pass
judgment on.
All over the world, there is war against racism but the war
can't be won until the issue of judging others has been fully addressed.
Let people understand the uniqueness in our differences.
Let no man be judged based on the color of his skin, sexuality,
religion and culture.
Let no one think he is superior to the other.
I recently chastised a respected friend of mine for saying he
hated gays.
That is wrong for anyone that claims to love God.
No Man has any moral justification to hate another Man but his
claim just like others comes out of being judgmental which often lead to
discrimination.
This is one cause of disunity in my country, Nigeria, the Igbos
sees Yorubas as evils while the later see the Igbos as criminals and inferior.
Both sees Housas as inferior to them and tag them Boko Haram
even though most of them know nothing about the insurgence.
How can you love someone you consider harmful and inferior when
you are suspicious and proud?
What has a Man's choice of being a gay got to do with your life?
Does one by being a lesbian, heterosexual or a bisexual stop
your own progress in life?
Do these choices of theirs hinder your relationship with God?
If you can't help them, don't compound their problems by judging
them.
The fact is you are yet and not interested in knowing why they
ended up that way so why pass judgment on them?
Are you better than they are?
Don't you have your own struggles too, you hypocrites?
After years of diligent research on those unsung sexualities, I
have found out that, contrary to your assumption that their choices are made
out of willfulness, they are often as a result of Genetic disorder: biological
and physical ( inconclusive), Environmental distortion, Emotional and
psychological problems, distorted concept of gender, gender incongruity, forced
induction, sexual abuse (rape) and demon
possession.
All these works hand in hand. So of all the above mentioned
causes, which one will you consider their fault?
“The unsung” here just as
it was written in the popular poem "the gay unsung". Does not only
refer to whose sexualities you consider inferior and evil but also those in the
environments who it is really hard to show love to, be it as a result of their
predicaments or appearances.
Such persons as Albinos, imbeciles, autistic children, children
with Down-syndrome, handicaps, beggars, orphans and other helpless, sexually
abused children. Etc.
How many times have you given that beggar money out of love and
not make him look like an outcast based on the meager sum and your carriage
towards him?
How many times have you given that poor old Woman/Man money
having noticed she/he's in need and not because the Pastor/Imam prompted you
to?
Can you hug that imbecile, autistic child and show some love?
Do you not judge them and say they deserve to die and leave them
to languish in their predicaments?
How many times have you tried to bring back self confidence in
to those you consider ugly and handicaps by staying with them to encourage them
while others run from them?
Do you not mock them and say, that's their own headache?
If you are guilty of the above mentioned, then your allegiance
to God is faulty regardless of your religion.
Let's stop the judgment game and act out of brotherly love.
However this can not be achieved if you can't get over your
critical mindsets and act of judging others.
LET’S LOVE ONE
ANOTHER AND STOP CREATING REASONS NOT TO LOVE.
LOVE MAKES THE
WORLD AN EASY PLACE.
TO THOSE THAT BELIEVE IN EXISTENCE OF GOD YOU
KNOW GOD IS LOVE SO TO BE GODLY YOU NEED TO SHOW UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.
