Love works

The topic for the last couple of days has been about  love because I feel it's the solution to all things.  When we don't love, we really put stress on ourselves and sometimes others but mainly on us.  God gives us love everyday by forgiving us for our sins, giving us strength and most importantly grace.  He asks us to do the same  so  that we all can see the light of Jesus and not live in darkness.  Love is also a choice.  God doesn't make us do anything but he allows us to make our own decisions.  When we don't love, we are hurting and really need to heal and this is why we have to put God first because He  teaches us the importance of love and it's benefits.  He doesn't want us to hurt and He showed us that by sending His son.  I believe hurt can turn into anger and when we don't heal it doesn't help the soul.  When we don't love ourselves, we are definitely putting a pause on our lives because we're not using our talents and we're not moving forward.  Sometime we think we're loving ourselves but how can we think that if we're not doing things to make us better people.  Actually, we're living for others and not making wise decisions when we don't love ourselves.  When we don't love others, we're not giving hope nor are we being a light for Jesus.  Love is so important and if we want to have peace or ever  get closer to God, we need to practice this most important virtue so we can have joy in our hearts and contribute to the Mission Set By God.
