What Counts Among the Friends of God

The only true reward--if rewards are what you are after--comes of loving your enemies, those who are quiet unlike you and who indeed actually dislike you...The possibility of love turns on loving those whom it is impossible to love...

Who would not want to be a friend of the rich and famous? But standing by the least among us, the little ones, the powerless, the odiferous, the ones you must wear gloves to touch--that is what counts among the friends of God.

--John Caputo
