love appropriately

God is love. If I am becoming more like Jesus, then I will have more of His love. I had to ask myself, am I truly growing in love for Jesus and others? If I can't say yes, then I have to ask if I am just going through the motions of being a follower of Christ. Love is what separates Jesus from every other so called god. Have I let His all consuming love truly transform my life? This is the journey I am on.

love

"Love is the power that can transform the world."
The problem is, we only extend it to the people we know. What would happen if everyone would extend love to everyone? IT could be anything from letting someone "in" on a long traffic line, to holding the door for someone to lending a hand when needed. I am going to try this week to go out of my way to show love not just to those I know, but those I don't....because love has the power to transform the world.

love

Love. We all want it, need it and many times will do crazy things in order to get someone to love us. I think it's crazy that the more you love someone, the greater capacity you have to hate them. The more you love someone, the greater their ability to hurt you. Have you ever noticed that the one who cares the least about the relationship, is the one who controls it. Some, even withhold their love to manipulate others to get what they want. It's a crazy thing this love. I'm so glad that Christ modeled perfectly what love is and should be. From the crib to the cross and everything in between.
