I can't seem to get away from this theme of love--
Christ's love, expressed through my life.
The greatest question not being
What have I done? or
How have I believed?
but
but
How have I loved?
If the Word tells us that
"GOD IS LOVE,"
He must judge me by how much I have
become like Him relative to love.
Does He inspire my thoughts
to think first of others?
to think first of others?
Does He affect the way
I relate with others?
I relate with others?
Does He cause me to be seized
with compassion for others?
with compassion for others?
Love is defined by common words:
kindness, gentleness, patient, trusting.
I want to continually love and affirm people--
like Abileen in one of my favorite books, The Help.
"You is kind, you is smart,
you is important."
I think God tries to speak to us
in that kind of language
in that kind of language
everyday.
