faith, hope & love... but the greatest of these is love

"You will find that it is all very familiar... the strange and faraway places where you've never been. The wild unknown leads you to a place just around the corner. Take a picture when you get there... the road is you."

"The Road" J. Bebe - R. Hammond

We are all the same. We all have the same wants & needs. To be accepted, to be loved, to be needed, to matter. Protection, safety, satisfaction, fulfillment. So why do we have trouble reaching each other?

We are all different. We all have our quirks. To stand out, to be unique, to be noticed, to be exceptional. No one is normal. So why do we find it so easy to conform?

On this road of life we must all travel, let us learn to love one another. Some people are easier to love than others. Some days love is hard to find or express. Some days love is only an afterthought, if it is thought of at all. But that is the challenge. That we would love our neighbor as ourselves. Our hearts are shown by the love we show each other.

'In comparison with this big world, the human heart is only a small thing. Though the world is so large, it is utterly unable to satisfy this tiny heart. Our ever growing soul and its capacities can be satisfied only in the infinite God. As water is restless until is reaches its level, so the soul has no peace until it rests in God.' ~Sadhu Sundar Singh

'But when the kindness and love of God our Saviour appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy.' ~Titus 3:4
