The Grace of Love

Love is all around us and God said when we love we're being an example of Him.  We're called to love others at all times not just when they are good, when they are bad as well.  I'm not saying surround yourself with people who don't care because we need to take care of ourselves but once we establish a good relationship with God and get closer to Him, we gain wisdom and we know how to act and what to do in most situations.  God loves us unconditionally and better than anyone on this earth and we're learning everyday how to love more because we're not perfect and we all make mistakes.  The key is when we  make mistakes to ask God for forgiveness and speak our peace with others.  Once that is done, we're able to stay connected to the vine and move toward a peaceful life.  There are some who do or don't do things because they don't want the other person to benefit.  To be honest, it's not about us and when we love and forgive it really benefits us. Our goal should be to grow within and love is definitely the first and most important step to make that happen.  Let's take time out today by talking to God and asking Him to teach us how to love more and to give us the strength to be humble so that we can become closer to Him.  Everywhere we go and everything we do love should be apart of that equation because God said be an example of Him and that means serve the  ministry to bring hope to the world and do it one day at a time.  One last thing, when we love we don't have to put up with nonsense either.  God said speak your peace and if people don't accept your love, keep it moving.  God pours His grace out on all of us but it's up to us to accept the blessings of love.  Amen and Thank you Lord for loving us.
