“We throw around the word love all the time..we say we love everything..really..we love our home..we love our dog..we love our cat..we love our fish..we love our cars..we love our jobs..and of course we love food..and dessert..and of course we love songs..and music..and tv..and we love sports..and shopping..on and on..Amen..but really is love honesty taken into much consideration?..or do we even think about the real meaning behind the word love?..Amen..because love is the thing that makes everything worth while..love is that of an action word..Amen..we may like a lot of things..but really do we love them?..because love steps up to the plate so to speak..when the hard times come..when difficulties run all around ya..for you see love makes ya hold on..love makes you forgive and let us not forget..forget..Amen..because love is what softens hearts and minds..love is the thing that is the most precious thing that we can ever give another person in our lives..love isn’t or should I say a word we use carelessly..but we should think about it..and think about just how much we use it..Amen..because you see God is love..1 John 4:7-21..our Father is love..that wonderful and delightful love..and when we love Him..we can love others..for the Lord says these two commandments I hang all the law..which is to love the Lord your God with all your heart..and to love your neighbor as yourself..Matthew 22:36-40..Amen..for when you love..you don’t talk about the people you love..Amen..you don’t back bite them or ever put them down..not ever..and as far as bringing up their past and what they may have done there is really not at all a loving or even a kind thing to do..Amen..for you see the one thing I can say that really helps me is the fact that I want to treat others the way I myself want to be treated..because we all are humans..and we all need love to make it..to grow..to mature..to have peace..and joy to the over flowing..we all need love..Amen..so my heart and my prayer is when we are saying we love things..I pray we’re saying we love people..not things..or places..or whatever..Amen..because somehow I think that’s why we take that word ever so lightly..because we say is so carelessly..and so very often..so love and love from the heart..and love everyone..once again not merely few..knowing that we all are made in the image of the Lord..Amen..so be kind..be nice..be compassionate..and be the change as they say that you want to see in this ole world in which we live..sharing and spreading God’s love..to everyone and anyone..Amen..for God says that others will know that you are my disciples if you love one another..John 13:35..Amen..for there is this song that says the world will never hear our preaching if we stand here disaggreeing..it’s by love..it’s by love..Amen..everything we do..for it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
