I'm writing this now because it just occurred to me. What the Bible labels love is something that most people won't you.... I repeat, it is something most people WON'T do. Why, you ask? Because from what I'm gathering, it's more than you think. I Corinthians 13 starts by saying that if one has the faith to move mountains and doesn't have love, he is nothing. Luke 6:27-36 says that we should love those that hate us, bless those who curse us..... Hmmmm. Can we really..... It sounds like an unlikely situation, but it's possible. I know I'm not there yet. I still have my sins and those to whom I've committed sins. Yet, I want to say that I won't be deterred in my quest to attain such a mindset, but I gotta be real... I've built my life around trying to keep people happy. Has it worked? Of course not.... People are still mad at me.... Mad that their expectations of me aren't what I've given... Mad that I didn't give enough... you know what??? Ima try and love y'all anyways. I'm dying slowly inside because I can't please you all and your high expectations and your goals and your stuff.... Slowly.... You ain't gotta believe me..... When you get to my funeral, don't be shocked..... But I digress, I've swerved off topic lol. Love is an interesting concept, but you have to keep God ahead of the pack because if you live a life trying to get others to love you by loving them 2-3 times as much, you're in for a rude awakening.....

hey man you gotta put God first. you can't live up to the expectations of people your whole life. even though people are gonna say things that sounds like the things that God would expect of you, you still have to keep in mind that you're doing these things for God first and then for others. remember that the first and greatest commandment is to love God and then love man. let's get our priorities in check man. we gotta step up our relationship with God and stop playing around. it's getting close to the end. and i say that not to discourage but to encourage. we can do all things through Christ. So LET'S DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
