Love is an action of being selfless, this means to stop
going through life looking for what you want. Instead look at what you can do
for others and ask God “what do you want from me?”
God has a plan for your life; this was decided long before
you had dreams, goals or desires. Let me share a bible verse that has helped me
sum up authentic living with love…
This is the day
the lord has made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24
Are you wondering what this verse may have to do with
love? My answer would be everything! Nobody can realistically choose how each day
will unfold but we do get to choose how we react. Our comeback might depend on how we are feeling in that
moment and sometimes that may not always be bright.
The first thing you need
to understand is that God loves you, he knows your heart and every thought. He created all of us for his purpose from a place of
unconditional love. This love is light
without a heavy burden and nobody can take that from you.
Friends, his love is eternal…
So yes, this is the day the lord has made, accept this and
be thankful you are part of it. Rejoice in this new day with a smile because some
people didn’t get another one.
Start each morning saying, It’s a new day. If something negative happens, rise above
those moments and be glad that you have this day to make things better.
Seek opportunities to share love.
You are given places to connect daily,
the problem is we complicate everything, so we fail to see what is right in
front of us. Be the selfless person God has created us all to be. This is the day friends, for the month of February begin authentic
living with love.
See the good,
Carole
