We cannot choose how we feel. We can choose what we do, how we act. But we do not always act out of love. Sometimes we act out our anger. Sometimes we act out our shame. Sometimes we act out our jealousy, our insecurity, our pride, and our resentment. Sometimes we act out our hate. No, we do not love perfectly. But God does. And the more we come to emulate this divine love, the more our lives are an expression of the goodness that is at the heart of each of us.
