Gospel Reflections #521: A Love that Loves God's Creation

Proverbs 12:10 "The man who obeys God knows even what his livestock want. Those who defy God are cruel even to pity."

God has given man a role to manage all of creation.

We humans are not made to treat creatures less than ourselves selfishly.

God's love is always a love that is expressed outwardly.

We should be able to choose to respond to God's love rather than following our own feelings and desires.

Showing outward love is self-sacrificial love.

We need to be kind, merciful, and compassionate to our domestic animals because that is how God treats us.

We are to show love and gratitude for all that is given to us.

The life of all creation is connected and united in God.

Life in God is guided by God's principles, not by instinctive desires or feelings.

Where is your love directed?
