What Love Isn’t

I was able to take one of my many-mile mega-walks today, this time on the matchless, magnificent Mall in the heart of Washington, DC.  The massive monuments were majestic and beautiful as always.  Seeing the number of people living on some of the side streets?  Not so much.

But such a sight did serve a poignant purpose in hissing this crystal clear conclusion:  I know what love is…

… and what it ISN’T, like letting “lowly” people live in tents and linger and literally waste away on lawns, parking lots, and public parks.  Whenever I see that I always wonder why in the world we as a society or our political leaders let that happen, how is such even possible in the wealthiest (on paper, anyway, but that’s a topic for another day) country on earth?  No, that’s not love; it’s indifference at best and hatred at worst.  And heartbreaking to behold in any case.

I haven’t yet set my mind on seeking a specific solution but the current cold-heartedness can’t continue, we have got to figure this out as, per the quote marks, these people are anything but “lowly” in my eyes and I’m sure your eyes and most importantly the living Lord’s loving eyes.

Looks like the next great mission field to me… more to come as my mind mulls this matter over these next many months, stay tuned.
