LIVE A LIFE FILLED WITH LOVE, FOLLOWING THE EXAMPLE OF CHRIST. HE LOVED US AND OFFERED HIMSELF AS A SACRIFICE FOR US, A PLEASING AROMA TO GOD.
EPHESIANS 5:2
Two of my beautiful friends sent me these roses today....what I noticed about them was their smell....it was sooooo sweet and fragrant not to mention how colorful and lovely they are!! As we are in the Lent season...I challenge all of us to follow the example of Christ, and live a life filled with LOVE....show someone love anonymously this month....do something for someone else and don't let them know it's you. You'll know who needs a little pick me upper....a little lift....God will put someone in your path who is hurting...who is alone...who needs a listening ear. Call you mom or dad and say hello more than once a week this month...play with your dog a little more this week...sit a little longer with your kids and just listen....spend a little more time in prayer with Jesus....send a text to an old friend that has been on your mind for some time but didn't have the time to say hi. As we sacrifice the biggest commodity in our lives which is TIME....we leave something fragrant behind....this thing called LOVE...which pleases our heavenly father above.
Things to Think About:
The Greatest of These is Love...
MAY I PRAY? JESUS, help us to love someone more this week. Put your love in our hearts and help us to see through your eyes...IN JESUS NAME....AMEN
