Loving prudence

Sometimes our social milieu can hold us back from doing the right thing. A disciple needs to cross barriers of race, creed or simply familiarity when life situations demand it. I need largesse of love such as the Good Samaritan had to do this. This love largesse has something of God in it --- the divine entering the human at the right place at the right time. Many Christians do not want this love largesse mucking up their tidy, familiar, churched lives. This is worth pondering.
