The Love Challenge... And REAL LIFE meaning!

Freshly minted in my consciousness, the words hit me hard. 'Not what do I need... but what do I have to offer?' Just a few, short hours the night before, through the screen of my i-pad, God spoke to me those very words. And suddenly, right then. In that very place! God's words had meaning. Real life meaning! I had something tremendous to offer; friendship, kindness, reassurance, but mostly LOVE, God's love. In me. Pouring out. 

If as Christ followers, we are to be the hands and feet of Jesus, it's not enough to open our spaces, our gifts, our time;  if we don't first open our hearts. Jesus' said 'If you've done this to the least of these then you've done it unto me.' If you are feeling frustrated, discouraged, lonely, or fearful;  why not encourage another? I can promise you the blessings you receive from being the blessing will far outweigh those of the recipient! Oh that you may experience the love of Christ and be filled with all the fullness of God. (Eph. 3:19) #TheLoveChallenge #MyPrayerForYou

In the wake of the new year, I issued myself a personal challenge 'To be so FULL of God's love that I could not fathom speaking an unkind word or doing an unkind deed.' Would you like to join me in my quest!? If so, I would love to hear from you!
