God gives us instructions on how to Love the Stranger-First Begin with a Love that is most natural that cannot Be denied.  Let  us say it is for your. Child a forever one if ever there was One-a commitment for all time freely Made to all that is loveable-the gift of God.  With  this we sight in the future Another time is now seen close up and What we see is altered and instead of the Beloved child there is a stranger and an Accuser who tells you it is your fault-that You failed to love as you ought to have- Worse still it is true and you are indeed Responsible for this Alteration-this stranger Who you said you would love forever but is Now your accuser-Indeed it could be anyone Another who you do not know and never met Would be easier to love but it is not the easiness Of Love but its faithfulness; its strength to be true To its beginnings that overcomes in the end-So we Learn that it is possible to truly love, to love even A stranger because we do and knowing this we know All.  All we need to know because we  know God. The One who is the stranger is our Beloved Child
