love

I just watched a silly romantic movie and came away thinking how amazing is love. If love is the essential character of our LORD and it's so amazing and incredible than why is it so hard to love?

I love my man and after 15 years together I'm still crazy about him. But their are times when he drives me crazy...what's that about??

If my life's mission is to love God and to love others then why do i struggle at it? Why can't it always be easy? I want to bless people and pour so much love into their lives...and it's times like that I get completely carried away and invite strangers to live in my house because they have no where else to go...

I know the LORD made me a giver because it's easy for me to think of others...I see something and I think of someone who could use it...I hear a problem and I think of a way to solve it...I am looking to rent a place with a double garage because we need somewhere to store all our stuff for church...a swimming pool because my nieces and nephews love to swim...a landlord who accepts pets so my niece can have a dog at my place cos they can't afford to keep a dog...near a station so my cousin can come and stay whenever she feels like it...this is how crazy love makes you!

I give away so much of our income that my man could only spend $3 on his lunch today. Even as he said this I was trying to figure out how we can help my brother find the money to send my nephew to a better school and pay for my brother's courses. I can't help myself.

It sounds so easy...love God and love others. What's so hard about love - it makes you feel like you can do anything, it picks you up when you fall, it fills you with such passion that you have to sit on your hands to stop yourself from jumping up and doing something. That's the Lord, HE IS THIS LOVE.

What gets in the way is people...people can't accept people. people are imperfect - God is not. Maybe i need to change that life mission of mine to love God and accept people even if they are unwilling to accept me and all my imperfections!
