In this world, there is a severe lack of love and that lack of love starts with me.
So what can be done to reverse this downward trend? How can we stop the hate that dwells in and comes forth from the heart? How can a disconnected heart be put back together, ransomed, and renewed?
Love.
Love.
Love.
Revolutionary Love.
The act of loving someone seems easy enough, especially if we like the person we’re showing love to. Saying the words, “I love you,” seems hardly enough when it’s popular to say one thing and do another.
People are desperate to be accepted for who they are, where they are. There is no
person who can get along well enough without love. So those in need of love are being called to LOVE. It seems as thought love grows best when it is put into action; that people tend to love in return when loved first. We should challenge ourselves to be the first to love.
Buying a T shirt with a message on it isn’t going to change anyone. Anyone can wear anything, but that doesn’t mean it’s who they are. There are plenty of well dressed people who are full of nothing but darkness (and they need love too!) These shirts do not have souls of their own, but souls will be clothed by the same...what then? Will these souls learn to love as a result of putting on clothes? No! Put on Love. Then people will see the difference. Axiomwear is a clothing line, but it’s not about the clothes. The only thing Axiomwear clothing is good for is hopefully inspiring the first words of a deeper conversation about love, about hope, about social change.
So who are we called to love? It’s easy to “love” celebrities, as long as we like what they are wearing today. It’s easy to love our friends and family, for the most part. But how about making love available to all who desire to be loved? Were we not created to love and to be loved? Love is defined as not keeping any record of wrongs. In that case, should we love our enemies as well? Absolutely! We should love our friends and our enemies as well. If we only love when it’s convenient to do so, then it’s not really love. We should love people where they are, despite their shortcomings; for who they are, not who they should be, regardless of mistakes they have done, or whether they deserve it.
So we should love God, orphans, widows, friends, family, neighbors, liberals, conservatives, libertarians, moderates, communists, socialists, americans, anti-americans, foreigners, the disfigured, the beautiful, short, tall, obese, Osama bin Laden, President Bush, porn stars, rock stars, humanists, husbands and wives, single people, divorcees, homosexuals, straight, bi, transgendered, comedians, trash collectors, stock brokers, lawyers, judges, tech support people, Hillary Clinton, bullies, rape victims, the homeless, the eldery, Michael Moore, the fatherless, disabled people, Muslims, Christians, Evolutionists, Buddhists, Nihilists, Atheists, Agnostics, Mormons, alcoholics, people who have had and will have abortions, people with eating disorders, the hurt, the hopeless, the down and out, the rejected and outcast, the unlovable...
We should constantly be putting the best interests of each other before our own. This is easy to say in words, but not easy to put into action. So let’s embrace the challenge and change the world.
