The Alter of Faith (Matt. 5:23)

Again, Jesus tells us that our gifts, brought to the alter of life, are unacceptable while there is aught between us and our fellow man. Here is a hard saying. We cannot always please our fellowman. Human experience has taught that this is impossible. What attitude, then, are we to assume? This: whether we please or whether we displease, we need have no personal animosity towards others. The alter of faith is approached through peace and goodwill toward all. The Divine Ear is attuned to harmony and cannot be approached through discord.
When we agree with our adversaries quickly they will disappear, for there can be no reality to us unless we recognize it, we shall be delivered to the judgment whereby we ourselves have judged. The utmost farthing must be paid, until we no longer indulge in evil doing.
Jesus tells us resist not evil, to love our enemies, and to do good to them who would do us evil, for this is to manifest the spirit of love, which is God. God loves all alike and causes His rain to fall and His sun to shine alike upon all. In arms, which are inclusive, Divine Love encompasses everything.
