Love...

It seems to be the topic on everyone's mind, and apparently it is what I write about...so what the heck. Sunday morning I spent some time in the Cathcart lobby. It was quiet...peaceful. Everyone else was either off to church or still sleeping away in their beds, but me, I was in the lobby with my Bible, a pen, and some paper...and this is what became of it.

Having faith is committing to persevere nomatter what your day-to-day situation. We must continue to endure during both the good times and the bad. We must not get caught up in an unhealthy perfectionism, however, because it is then that we will tear ourselves to shreds and nothing will be left but broken, hopeless pieces.
Our ultimate purpose while on this Earth is to learn how to love. The greatest commandment is to love the Lord, and the second is to love others. God is love. When we truly discover love, we will truly know God. In this great search toward finding love, we will find Godly love, earthly love, and ways to share love. Our lives will be about sharing both our love and God's love with those around us. When we find a way to do that, we will have found God's plan for our lives.

It seems that love is almost equal to perfectionism. None of us have it figured out yet, and I think it is wrong to judge those around us because of their imperfections. We are all screwups, and I think that the sooner we all realize that, the sooner we will be able to except each other and (dare I say it) love each other like we should.

"When we truly discover love, we will truly know God"

-i think that its the opposite. When we truly know God then we will truly discover God.
just a thought :)
