Love is a conscious decision in favour of the other person, persevering even if my heart is not really in it. It is futile to love a street kid in the comfort of my room! What he needs, is not to look  into my teary ,gentle eyes but , that there be bread on his table, a roof over his head, food on his plate, a pencil in his hand , a blanket on his bed, that he gets a good word , a hug.

To do a truly  good deed is very difficult for someone "who drives you up the wall ", who continuously crosses you , who is malicious.It is difficult for that individual, but for Jesus-who loves him as well, who says “what you do for him, you do it for Me”- we can do good from our heart. This is why we are not calculating , insincere if we do good even if our heart , our fallible nature would take us in an other direction.
