Love.

It doesn't matter how well you can preach, or how many Bible verses you've memorized or how long you've been going to church. If you don't have love, you have nothing. Christianity is about being like Christ. Jesus loved everyone, first. If they didn't accept what He said, He still loved them. Its our job to love. That I can. Do not turn a blind eye and become prideful because you feel someone isn't good enough or falls short. Love them and never stop loving them. We all fall short. But all we can do is love each other and lift each other up. No good ever comes out of casting judgement but we can change a life with our unfailing love. We should look through flaws and disagreements and see the precious human beings God created.

We are all precious to Him. Can you see it? It's the most incredible love we could ever imagine. He loves us even on our worst days. He loves us. There are dozens of people out there ready to cast judgement in a moments notice but only a few are quick enough to react in love. Choose love, friends. Lift up. Care. Step outside and you'll find a world that is starving for love. Maybe one person is filled with more sin than the next. but if you have the right eyes, you will see past the flaws and see a precious child of God. ...and eventually, those who are fallen and broken will see it too. All because you took the time to show love.

“Spread love everywhere you go: first of all in your own home. Give love to your children, to your wife or husband, to a next door neighbor . . . Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness in your warm greeting.”

― Mother Teresa

Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
Or does anybody even knows she's going down today
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?

p.s. I love you.
