'Love your enemies ... If you love only those who love you, what credit is that to you? ... But you must love your enemies and do good; and ... you will be sons of the Most High, because he himself is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be compassionate as your Father is compassionate. Pass no judgment, and you will not be judged; do not condemn and you will not be condemned' ... And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
Lk.6:27,32,35,36,37 (NEB); 6:46 (KJV)

For me to be condemnatory of
a soul that doth in psychic bondage be,
falls short of Thy commands, O Lord, to love
with Thy compassion, mercy, empathy.
For if, by God, that soul's not drawn to Thee
and hath no hearing ear (which comes by grace)
hence hath no grasp of Thy reality,
how can it possibly seek out Thy face?
And if it hath been called, and's part awake,
with little knowledge of the spirit-war,
but b'lieves its mind, knows not yet how to make
its thoughts obedient unto its Lord ...

My own Self I condemn if I condemn
such souls. Help me to, grieving, pray for them ...
