Love

I was moving about today, so I decided to take out sometime to write.  The word "Love came into mind. I started to give thanks for everything and everyone around me. I noticed I was giving thanks to the things that once took my joy away, the things that brought me deep burdens were no longer burdens,  The heavy weight was no longer a part of my life but was laying at Jesus feet. My pain turned into Joy.

Jesus said love in spite of.

Do to others as you would have them do to you. (Luke 6:31)

I have experienced a lot of pain, and I have traded my pain for love. Look around you, this world is getting more violent than every. We have to become the salt of the earth.  Being an example of love, requires work.  Not physical work;  but emotional work.  The type of work that requires you to give a hug to your enemy, or forgive the neighbor that wronged you, or even the person that spoke a harmful word over your life.

Learn to love life, learn to love pain and also learn to love happiness. all things are good, it just depends on how you embrace them. Seek to find the good in all things.
