Love that comes from the heart of God connects us to all of God’s children. It also connects us to his creation—our world. God’s heart of love moves me from the isolation of self-interest to a connection with life that cannot allow any ultimate divisions or categories. Love cannot exclude concern for social justice. Nor can it exclude ecological concern for the planet. Love cannot exclude concern for any human being, because all humans bear the image of the Christian God, whose heart is increasingly becoming our heart.
