Being a true Christian begins with love.
Being a true Christian continues with learning more of love.
A true Christian comes to know that this love, which has come to be called Christian love, is more.
He knows that the love he is charged to learn contains, but is more than:
~ admiration and benevolence,
~ unselfish acceptance of one's humanity and the seeking of that one's welfare,
~ cherishing,
~ man's adoration of God,
~ strong desire, prise, trust, belief,
~ perhaps even more than the fatherly concern of God for man.
~ motherly, sisterly, brotherly, fatherly.
He finds learning this lesson of love a difficult one, but not a complicated one.
He learns that he is apply this love to:
~ one and all,
~ his neighbor,
~ his self.
He applies his life to learning to:
a) love himself and to how he loves himself,
b) love his neighbor and who Jesus Christ includes as a neighbor,
c) love All and One and One and All.
