Give loving your enemies a try today.


Only you can limit your creative power, but God wills to release it. He no more wills you to deprive yourself of your creations than He wills to deprive Himself of His. Do not withhold your gifts to the Sonship, or you withhold yourself from God! T-7.IX.1:1-3

The Blues Brothers, Jake and Elwood Blues played by John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd, in their great movie from the 80s named The Blues Brothers repeatedly state that they are on a mission from God. This is a statement made with ironic humor but nonetheless is true and not just for them but for all of us. Each of us is on a mission from God to bring peace and joy to the world in spite of our ego’s attempts to separate us from the love of God.


In Unitarian Universalism some of us join together to affirm the promote the inherent worth and dignity of every person. This is our prime mission from God for our lives here.


Today it is suggested that we focus on the inherent worth and dignity of some specific people we don’t like. As Jesus said, we should love our enemies. Give loving your enemies a try today.
