Forgiving is Love, Forgetting takes humility

My neighbor said, "To forgive is love, to forget is humility."

I thought this was quiet profound. She said it came from a Mother Teresa quote.

So, here's the quote:

"Jesus taught us how to forgive out of love, how to forget out of humility...

Is my love for others so great, so real as to forgive, not out of duty but out of love?"

I think my neighbor said it pretty well.

It's an amazing thing to ponder forgiving as love, and forgiving as an act, or statement of humility.

Let Laura's Song Bless You

Andrea Bocelli.."More"

Who better to sing of loving more than Andrea Bocelli.

Love More...

God Sees and Will Not Forget Your Labors of Love

Hebrews 6:10 tells us that "God is not unjust to forget your work and labor of love..."

So be reminded: God sees, God is just, God doesn't forget.

Be encouraged in your labors of love.

Hebrews 6:12 encourages us to "not become sluggish"... and to have patience.

Hebrews 6:18 tells us this to encourage us in our works of love for "the hope set before us."

Because God sees and God is just, He will reward us for the works of eternal consequence: love.

Love Never Fails - Sing it!

Purpose of Money: Make Love Work

Mark Nepo in his book, The Book of Awakening, claims the "only true purpose of money was to help make love work....to use whatever money I can afford to make love work...."

He says, "we've squandered our chances to love along the way."

He challenges us to "act on the love you feel now, " and "be the love you feel now." (p. 76-78)

A Prayer to Love

O my God,

Let me walk in the way of love

which knoweth not how to seek self

in anything whatsoever.

But what love must it be?

It must an ardent love,

a pure love,

a courageous love,

a love of charity,

a humble love,

and a constant love.

O Lord, give this love into my soul,

that I may never more live nor breathe

but out of a most pure love of Thee,

my All and only Good.

Amen
