Love the way they hold you

Jamie Grace sings this with tobyMac. A love ballad for you today. Be encouraged. Be loved. Be blessed.

Lens of Love

"Look at other people through lenses of Love..." (p. 168, Jesus Calling, Sarah Young)

Put on your right glasses today. Put on your lenses of love. Look at the world and others through that, not your own pretty blue or green lens.

You know how "reader" glasses help us see things more clearly.

Well, lenses of love will help us see more lovingly.

What matters in the End?

Have you seen the list that supposedly a 90 year old wrote with 42 lessons from life?

Today I noticed #35: "All that truly matters in the end is that you loved."

Dreams for Love - It's good for the Brain!

I'm reading, Who Swtiched Off My Brain, and then the author, Caroline Leaf, asserts: "Write your dreams for love..." (ebook version, p. 204)

Think of that, a doctor in brain science, telling us to journal our dreams for love.

It's scientific from the brain, and it's good for the heart too!

Make your dreams of love more concrete by writing them down.

Love is Exotic

The famous English preacher C.H. Spurgeon said, "Love is an exotic; it is not a plant which will flourish naturally in human soil, it must be watered from above...Love must be fed on love. The very soul and life of our love to God is His love to us.

I love Thee, Lord, but with no love of mine,

For I have none to give;

I love Thee, Lord; but all the love is Thine,

For by Thy love I live.

I am nothing, and rejoice to be

Emptied, and lost, and swallowed up in Thee."

(Morning & Evening Daily Readings, June 11)

Sing: Love Like I'm Not Afraid

Chris Tomlin sings it great.  Be the way you were made:  Love without fear!

Love is a Thread

Confucianism saying:

"Loving kindness is the one maxim which ought to be acted upon throughout one's life."

Islamic tenet:

"Not one of you is a believer until you wish to everyone what you love for yourself."

So, why can't we all get along. We all believe in love.
