Love Isn't Blind

It was Adolph Hitler who once said that if you repeat a big lie often enough people will believe it. One of the biggest lies in the world is the adage, ‘Love is blind.’ This simply isn't true. Love, above all, sees. Hatred is blind, without a doubt.

Someone filled with hatred is incapable of seeing anything good about the target of his hatred. But love can see all; not only sin, but the person behind the sin. Those corrupted by hatred see black as black, then grey as black, and finally even white as black. Those who are filled with love see, even in the darkest sin, the human being who is essentially distinct from his sins and for whom Jesus died.


Lord in Heaven, purify our minds with love and help us to see others as You see them. Purify our hearts so that we may serve You throughout this day. Amen
