Love and Compassion

I watched the memorial of Jessica Joy Rees who passed away from cancer at age 12. What a gift she is to us teaching love and compassion for all people. What I think of is how no matter what, as long as a person makes it back to recovery, we are not to judge. It is gift to ourselves and to them to love them no matter what. Unconditional love means just that. I will love and accept you just the way you are, not how 'I want you to be' not how 'I think you should be'; how you are at this moment. Our Ego's get in the way and out of the fear we create we push people away. The problem with the push is it may be the one the person uses to push themselves over the edge and they may not make it back. The whole time this beautiful child of God was fighting for her life, she did not whine or feel sorry for herself. She worked on being of service to others. If only the world could listen to her message and learn.
