I was running out to the car in the rain and I caught sight of a bumper sticker. I didn't stop to really look at it (cuz of the rain) but I caught the words, "MY RELIGION IS LOVING KINDNESS"
I've thought a lot about that since then.
Now, I'm not encouraging the throwing out of all doctrine, etc. but the bumper sticker has a point! Loving kindness is VITAL. There is much 'debatable' doctrine and many things that separate and cause division that has nothing to do with loving kindness and much to do about not having loving kindness.
"If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing."
-1 Corinthians 13:1-3
Ok, if you really read this and believe it, doesn't this say that love is supreme? Even overtops some very amazing other things?
So, at the end of the day I want to look back and ask, "Did I love today?" And if that answer is yes, then I will consider my day a success.
The answer to your question... Yes you did!
