Lovely

So much in life seems to be determined by your perception and outlook, but in all reality it always go back to love. When you love you feel loved, and vice versa. Plus and most importantly GOD is love. I think our problem stems from unconditionally love or the lack of it. The Bible instructs us to love men of all sorts, your brothers, your neighbor and strangers alike. Yes, even your enemies. As hard as that may seem, take a moment and meditate on that for a bit. What does it mean to really love your neighbor. Would you give your life for a perfect stranger? Why not, someone gave theirs for you?

As the new year ushers in a lot of people will make promise with all intention to keep them but unfortunately will fail. This time try just loving people in general no conditions, no expectations, just pure love. See how much you life changes or better yet improve.

I have been privileged to know a lot of human beings in my lifetime, I can write a book on each. The one thing they all had in common is that they were each perfectly flawed. But in each I found a quality good enough to imitate. And for that I am grateful, but like I said they were each perfectly flawed, and in each of them I saw part of myself helping me to see that I am too perfectly flawed.

From so many things in my life I have moved on. And as each new chapter is written I make certain promises to myself, almost like a rule or lesson from each chapter helping me to look forward to the next. Even though most ending in some sort of heartbreak or demi-tragedy, I have grown. I am now better equipped for the next. So for all those reading this that was some how connected to my former life, I am bringing back the love.

Today's Bring It Back ...
LOVE
