<\/a><\/p>\nEl presidente Jimmy Carter inici\u00f3 su estudio b\u00edblico pidiendo a los presentes que levantaran la mano apenas entendieran el tema principal del pasaje b\u00edblico que estaba a punto de leer. Comenz\u00f3: \u201camados, am\u00e9monos los unos a otros, porque el amor es de Dios\u201d. El presidente alz\u00f3 la vista al mismo tiempo que sus labios se estiraron formando una sonrisa agradable, sus ojos brillaron un poco mientras miraba a la congregaci\u00f3n. Observ\u00f3 unas cuantas manos arriba en el aire. Continu\u00f3, \u201ctodos los que aman son engendrados por Dios y conocen a Dios. Quien no tiene amor no conoce a Dios, porque Dios es amor\u201d. Al concluir, la mayor\u00eda de las manos estaban arriba. Reconoci\u00f3 con un movimiento de su cabeza a uno de los fieles y su respuesta fue fuerte y clara, \u201cel amor\u201d. Carter pregunt\u00f3 qu\u00e9 debemos hacer para recibir el amor de Dios. Se ri\u00f3 entre dientes cuando casi todos respondieron \u201camar a los dem\u00e1s\u201d. Corrigi\u00f3 a la congregaci\u00f3n con una voz amable y relajada, \u201cnada, porque Dios nos am\u00f3 primero\u201d.<\/p>\n
Despu\u00e9s del estudio b\u00edblico, el Obispo Hartmayer y yo permanecimos para el servicio dominical de la Iglesia Bautista Maranatha en Plains, Georgia, presidido por el Pastor Tony Lowden. Este predic\u00f3 sobre el amor que Dios nos demuestra continuamente a pesar de nuestras frecuentes indiferencias. Se\u00f1al\u00f3 la vida del profeta Oseas a quien Dios pidi\u00f3 que se casara con Gomer, una prostituta. El Pastor explic\u00f3 que el dolor que Oseas sent\u00eda cada vez que su esposa le era infiel ni siquiera se acerca al dolor que le causamos a Dios cuando rechazamos su amor.<\/p>\n
El presidente Carter pregunt\u00f3: \u201c\u00bfHay alguien en tu vida quien odias o no te gusta?\u201d Levant\u00f3 la mano un poco para dejarnos saber que no era una pregunta ret\u00f3rica. Varias manos se levantaron. Luego continu\u00f3, \u201c\u00bfy qui\u00e9n querr\u00eda reconciliarse con esa persona?\u201d La mayor\u00eda de las manos permanecieron alzadas. Carter sigui\u00f3 con unas palabras breves que nos hicieron re\u00edr, \u201cbueno, h\u00e1ganlo\u201d. Despu\u00e9s de una pausa prolongada sugiri\u00f3, \u201cinv\u00edtelos a tomar un caf\u00e9 y reconc\u00edliense\u201d. El presidente comparti\u00f3 c\u00f3mo despu\u00e9s de muchos a\u00f1os busc\u00f3 a la persona que tom\u00f3 su informe preparatorio para el debate presidencial de 1980, hecho que dio una clara ventaja a Ronald Regan en el debate. Se reconciliaron muchos a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s del incidente. En su avanzada edad, fragilidad y disposici\u00f3n pac\u00edfica, el presidente Carter confes\u00f3 que cree que no hay nadie con quien necesita reconciliarse. En ese mismo momento la reconciliaci\u00f3n me pareci\u00f3 tan f\u00e1cil de lograr.<\/p>\n
Mientras me preparaba con Monse\u00f1or Hartmayer para celebrar la misa m\u00e1s tarde ese mismo d\u00eda, me sorprendi\u00f3 fuertemente ver la puerta trasera de la iglesia abrirse y ver entrar al presidente Carter con una tremenda alegre sonrisa en su rostro. \u201cBuenas tardes\u201d, me dijo mientras estrech\u00f3 su mano y yo respond\u00ed, \u201cbuenas tardes, se\u00f1or Presidente\u201d. Aunque hab\u00eda un agente del servicio secreto detr\u00e1s de \u00e9l, me llam\u00f3 la atenci\u00f3n su presencia modesta y agradable. Record\u00e9 que es posible tener desacuerdos o encontrones con otros, pero sobre todo se encuentra la caridad y la reconciliaci\u00f3n. La divisi\u00f3n y la amargura nunca conducen a la conversi\u00f3n de corazones, pero m\u00e1s bien el amor, la bondad y la gentileza s\u00ed lo hacen. Dios nos ha amado primero, entonces, \u00bfqu\u00e9 derecho tengo yo de no amar primero a los dem\u00e1s?<\/p>\n
