Love above all - A Christian Science perspective

Many may be experiencing ambivalent feelings and thoughts toward the death of Osama bin Laden.   Here is a humbling and loving perspective from the Christian Science perspective. 


"We need to seal this decade of unrest with love. I don’t mean personally loving someone who perpetrated one of the most senseless and darkest killings of the innocents. Yes, Jesus charges in the Sermon on the Mount to “love your enemies” (Matt. 5:44). This doesn’t mean we remain victims. Rather he is asking us to triumph in the fact that in the end only Love – the highest good, which some people call God – can stop violence, division, and conflict."

"There is no law against those who can hold steadfastly to these qualities as much as possible. There is no enemy, no demon, no curse, no revenge, in perfect Love. Divine Love can transform someone from hatred and violence to reason, wisdom, justice, and moral strength".

This is an encouraging outlook on how one aligns oneself with the higher power and lives that truth.
