We are called to do the hard work of nurturing relationships, of caring for people, of repairing broken and ruptured relationships.
Often, we are tempted show partiality, to act as though God loved some of us more than others, to think better of ourselves at the expense of our neighbor. But that, of course, is not how God works.
