Love? But who, Lord?

“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”

via Passage: Luke 10:25-37 (ESV Bible Online).

My prayers took the form of  “So Lord, exactly what are you asking of me here? Am I to go out and seek the poorest of the poor like Mother Teresa? How far do I have to travel…where do you want me to go?”

His reply to me was shorter and to the point “Just love those that I send to you”.  Wow…so simple and yet so difficult. I’m saddened to think of all the missed opportunities. All the times that He sent someone my way and I reacted with anything but love.  Lord help me to start anew.
