God's love does not discriminate (Fr. Ron Rolheiser)

  Jesus challenges us by saying, Be compassionate as your heavenly Father is compassionate.

  God’s love doesn’t discriminate, it simply embraces everything.  Like the sun, it doesn’t shine selectively, shedding its warmth on the vegetables because they are good and refusing its warmth to the weeds because they are bad.

  That’s a stunning truth:  God loves us when we are good and God loves us when we are bad and we are asked to love in the same way.  Jesus embraced everyone, sinners and saints alike, without ever suggesting that sin and virtue aren’t important.
