What is the Loving Way?
Jesus speaks of it as... loving God then loving your neighbor. What is love? Love is a behavior. It’s something you do. You can have all the fuzzy ‘I like you’ thoughts and very excitable feelings towards a person- but if you don’t say anything… if you don’t do anything... then you have no impact or influence on the person. Only when you do something can it have an impact on others... and an impact on the World.

Fortunately, being loving comes with a reborn & engaged spirit. That’s the nature of spirit… it’s loving.
Being loving means your spirit is engaged and by way of messaging and guidance from God you will have the motivation to nurture, sustain and promote God’s creation. Showing respect and care for all of his creation. And you will manifest that loving behavior throughout your daily life. Your spirit will bring you along the loving way. It’s easy for spirit to be loving
-that’s its nature. It’s not in human nature to be loving- it’s nature is to be self-interested, self directed and self-centered … and that interferes with any collective group effort (community).
It’s not a sin to be self-interested and self-serving. That is the nature of all living creatures – it’s necessary for survival. But it’s a definite obstacle to community which can’t function without compromise and cooperation.
Depending on your human nature to be loving... is an unending struggle. You can’t remove self-interest or self–preservation from your human nature. What happens though when your spirit is engaged… and now you depend on it... you do according to spirit motivation and direction, the human (me) becomes diminished in its presence... influence… intensity. Spirit allows the human (me) to have all kinds of feelings… all kinds of thoughts… but it acts (does something) according to God’s messaging and motivation-his will. You no longer respond to what you think…what you feel. what you believe and then act. You wait spirit guidance/direction and then act.
