"Love means living the way God commanded us to live. As you have heard from the beginning, his command is this: Live a life of LOVE." - 2 John 1: 6
I love spring! I mean who doesn't? It is simply a time of year when "new" things are coming. Many people always say focus on your goals at the very beginning of the year, I always like to refocus around Spring. You just get this new sense of love for life since new life is born. Spring is the time of year on the farm when the new lambs, chicks, and calves, foals, etc are born. It is just a new beginning. One that I just enjoy.
I find this time of year in my life the ultimate time where I can finally begin to express myself again. Sometimes those winter blues catch me off guard and I find myself dragging, but then Spring time rolls around the sun starts shining and I start waking up. I love that. Not sure if my Husband does yet because then his list gets longer, and the housework never gets done because I am outside! But God commanded us to "live a life of Love." and when I read that the other night in my devotions I had to wonder about Love!
What is Love? I just said I love spring, but I love summer too! How do I love them both? I love God, my kids, my husband, my family and I certainly love to serve and help others. HMMMMM.... I guess if I was commanded to live a life of LOVE, wouldn't I be doing just that? I just don't know because can I love spring as much as I love God? Now that is an interesting question to ponder. So when I pondered all this the other night I realized Love really is just an emotion we feel about something. I can truly have strong emotions about alot of things in this world, but I can never truly Live a life of LOVE the way I am commanded unless I follow my creator's desire for me. The Lord has set us all here for a purpose. I am so blessed I recognized mine. Is it a struggle to be successful at it, ABSOLUTELY! Will it be worth it? I hope so. But that is for the Lord to decide. I know that when I actually decided to follow his path doors closed but doors opened. It's the doors that opened that are wonderful. So tonight as I struggle to write a grant, or keep up on my housework, or even do some media marketing, I know that all the things I do I do for the greater good and I thank the Lord everyday for letting me wake up and continue on this path. I must say that the blessings so far are incredible and I can't wait to continue to share them with you all :)
Have a blessed Evening and remember to go out and live your life in LOVE. You will be happy you did.
