Living from a place called love and living it out freely has been a desire of mine ever since I came to understand God as TRUE perfect Love back in 2007. This past year, in 2011 it became my lifes goal. It has been an uphill battle at times, due to illness, due to literally not being able to get out of bed. But that is the BEAUTY of love. Love never fails. It is the compelling force that says, NO...this is not about me anymore. It causes you to self check and reevaluate life whenever you begin to have a pity party and say..."I'm NEVER promised tomorrow!!!" Those in my sphere of influence, a.k.a. those that the Lord has allowed me to be able to be surrounded by regularly I am either going to be a blessing to or bring them down. Then you begin to see them so differently, from an eternal perspective. Heidi Baker once told it like this. If you would ever begin to look ever human being in the eyes and see Jesus, you could truly change the world. I love that!!!! I didn't quote it because I might be a little off, but it was around those lines...she sees JESUS CHRIST in ever person she ever comes in contact with. The beggar, the sickest person she has ever seen, the murderer, the prostitute, the child molester, YES....even that person! We all have our issues and if we would get past the idea that we have the right to be judges, and let the Man who is able to judge, the only TRUE Judge, and quit our gossiping and just LOVE people into heaven, then we could truly change our world. To me, this is what Valentines Day is about this year. We are all humans, desiring more in life. I hope that we all can get past this place of drive for excellence, and just LOVE one another into the Kingdom of Heaven and call each other brothers and sisters in Christ. Happy Valentines Day.
