from the bridge near Dock Square
encountering something like this
always moves my heart
listening to the national anthem at a stadium
or Taps at a graveyard
seeing a veteran proudly salute to the flag
a firefighter running out of the flame holding a survivor
a picture of a police officer killed in line-of-duty in the news
exhausted eyes of the medical staff in COVID-19 floor
love beyond their own interests
unselfish giving of their lives pursuing the greater good for others
remind me of Jesus and his love
I owe a debt of love
to Jesus
and to all who sacrifice themselves to protect my safety
that's why love
is not optional
for me as a follower of Jesus
but a requirement
Let no debt remain outstanding,
except the continuing debt to love one another,
for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.
(Romans 13:8, NIV)
