Love "...holds no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." 1 Corinthians 13
So yesterday I watched Star Wars Episode VI, Return of the Jedi. I recently picked up the blue-ray set of the full saga and had this last one to watch.
I find the issue of Luke confronting Vader interesting. It seems Yoda thought confronting him meant fighting/killing him. Luke did not take to that. He looked for any bit of goodness in his father and in the end he found it; even though it meant Luke had to approach death to find it, he found it. Saving Luke's life may not have been much compared to the years of killing and hunting Jedi, but it was a beginning.
Whether or not someone pursues righteousness is their choice and the reality is that people do not always make that choice. Paul was not asking us to be ignorant or naive. Simply to know that we should look for the best in people. How can you do that today?
