Colossians 3:14 (The Message)

"So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you. And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It's your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it."


I want to give people a reason to say they were loved by someone.

We must accept the fact that there are people out there - wonderful human souls - who have not been loved well. Not loved too well at all. Most of us have been broken by one or more people, but most of us can also say that we know what love is because of a parent, a friend, a relative or someone who just took the time to reach out to us (and I do realize that some of us can't).

Jesus Christ was the walking, talking and dying epitome of love. He adored, forgave and covered people in love better than anyone on this earth, and it's His love that helps us go and cover (like a blanket) with love the person next to us. In every situation there must be compassion, kindness, humility, strength and discipline, basking in the undeserved love that was poured out over our lives.

Know Jesus more, one day at a time. Ask that the Holy Spirit will reveal to you the Father's love. And go give it away.
