Inclusion In The Circle

Outwitted by Edwin Markham

HE DREW a circle that shut me out—
Heretic, rebel, a thing to flout.
But Love and I had the wit to win:
We drew a circle that took him in!

Interesting isn’t it? What it takes to draw a circle that draws him in? Reminds me of the following scripture:

He said to him,* “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.

38This is the greatest and the first commandment.

39k The second is like it:* You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

40* l The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”

Matthew 22:34-40 from https://bible.usccb.org/bible/matthew/22

It is a theme that keeps on coming up, LOVE and character.
