The Love

Everyday you teach me that love is not black and white. Love doesn't
have limits like that. It can't be held back and restricted in that
manner. You taught me how to trust myself, how to trust others. You
showed me what it really means to love, and not only love you...but to
love all that God has created...and most importantly, you taught me how
to love God.

This life is a vapor, fleeting and temporary. What you do today, will impact your tomorrow.

Be Like Christ
1 Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any
consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any
affection and compassion, 2 make my joy complete by being of the same
mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one
purpose. 3 Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with
humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves;
4 do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for
the interests of others. 5 Have this attitude in yourselves which was
also in Christ Jesus, ~ Phil 2:1-5

Do you want to waste more time? Do you know what a difference you make?
Either you make a good difference, or you make a negative difference. I
think if we really stopped to consider the impact of our actions, we
would see that we have some choices to make.

There's someone out there...someone that only you can touch, someone
that needs you. You might not think it, you might not know it, but God
has placed them there for you to touch. I think we all need to look
outside ourselves, really look and see where God has placed you.
Someone needs you, needs the love of Christ...will you be the one to
share it? Or will you selfishly walk away, and leave someone's soul
dangling in the balance. You can say this is reading too much into
things, you can run from your responsibilities, but they won't go away.

When you lose your life, you'll gain it. I don't want to waste time
anymore. I don't want to see the bad, the ugly, and the evil...I want
to live loved, forgiven and redeemed. I want to help others see that
they have the same promises too! All I know is that I should. May we
all accept our roles, embrace them, and share His love.

Some of you don't know the difference you make, or the difference you
have made in my life. Maybe that's the beauty of it. It's so simple,
something you shouldn't do for the "rewards" or "merits" of it, but you
do simply because it's in your heart's desire to do so. You'd do it if
no one ever knew you did it. It's not the "Look at me" factor of it,
but simply, wanting to do what's right. For those of you who have loved
me and helped me...thank you. Your quiet love and guidance has meant
all the difference. Stay strong and be encouraged...you are thought of
often, and loved beyond measure. May goodness and love follow you all
your life, and may we all do the work of the Father, to Him be the
praise, the glory and the honor, for now and forever more!
