Season to Love

How do you live?

Famed theologian Dallas Willard said:  “To live in love is the morally good and right way to live.”

Can you think of a better way?

What is important to you today?

In Rachel Macy Stafford's book ONLY LOVE TODAY, she calls us to love, only love.  Her conclusion, on page 319, sums it up:

Love is the only thing required of you right now.

And if love is the only thing you do today,

that is enough.

On page 322, she challenges us:

In the presence of love,

nothing else needs to be accomplished 

because no task is more important or more urgent than love.

Does that clarify life for you?

Does that relieve you of all the other things on your to-do-list today?

Focus.  Prioritize.  Discipline yourself, to love.

That is our greatest gift to ourselves, those around us, and our world.

"Love means loving even if it is not reciprocated."

Words of Comfort for Every Day

Are we hurting yet?

Do some loving thinking...

Joyce Meyer, in her classic book, Battlefield of the Mind, challenged us to "Do some 'love thinking'." [page 172]  I think she has something there.  If our mind can think loving thoughts, we will have more loving behavior.  That would make the world better, and our hearts more peaceful.  

Love is an Active Duty of Encouragement

"Love is an active duty, 

And encouragement,

As a biblical command,

Requires us to take the initiative."

Gary Thomas
