Love is worth fighting for.
In the hour in which we are at our worst,
And fear has driven us blindly into a horrible place,
Love is fear’s true opposite.
The fueling of war, bitterness, disgust, horror,
Is the lack of love in the heart of humans.
Fear drives hatred.
So if perfect love casts out all fear,
And if perfect love gives us as children strength,
Then a community who shows love to others,
As it is called to do,
Especially to those who persecute,
And to those who are condemned,
Fear will take another step to extinction,
And love will take another step to salvation.
And this is good,
For a world without love, is nothing.
