Jesus wasn't big on believing.
He never said,
"If you don't believe
what I'm saying,
you are going to hell."
He said,
"Blessed are those who
hear what I'm saying and do it."

Jesus was all about doing.
Not believing.
Not thinking.
Only seeing/hearing/doing.

"Love your enemies."
"Love your neighbors."
"Love yourself."
"Live in loving ways
in all that you do."

And in all of this,
love is not what we feel.
It is what we do.

Get the doing down.
Believe anything you want,
but get the doing down.
Live so lovingly
that no one would ever guess
you didn't feel loving.

Jesus knew feelings follow action.
So he said,
"Do the loving thing
no matter how you feel.
And you'll be my disciple."
