Evening: Psalm 78:40-72; Matthew 13:18-23
Elie Wiesel, concentration camp survivor, said the opposite of love is not hate but indifference. You could become indifferent and cease caring if you had tried hard to love someone and you met with their indifference. Indifference breeds indifference: ‘Oh well, what’s the point!?’ Some seeds do fall on rocky ground, but you have to persist with love. Martin Luther King Jr. said: “Love has ... a redemptive power. There is a power there that eventually transforms individuals. Just keep being friendly to that person. Just keep loving them, and they can’t stand it too long.” Persist, and love grows.
