A Christmas message from Moby...
Christ compels us to be better than we usually are.
Christ compels us to forgive those who've wronged us.
Christ compels us to love our enemies.
Christ compels us to be humble and non-judgemental.
Christ compels us to care for the neediest.
Christ compels us to be non-violent.
Christ compels us to recognise that the material world and all of our possessions will ultimately turn into dust, so we shouldn't get too attached to our bodies, our lives, and our stuff.
and, most importantly(in many ways), Christ compels us to love one another and look after one another, and to see all people as our own family.

Edited to add...now read it again with the words Christ's love compels us.... when we receive that love we find ourselves compelled, Jesus does not ask us to act out of our own resources but his....
His love compels us, and he wants to pour his love into our hearts ... loves presence known by the power of the Holy Spirit at work in us.... are we open? Do we respond to that love???
