Welcome

Welcome to my spot! Here is just a place to share... most times it will be what I am currently journaling, while others with be a question that I need to get past bouncing around my head..

Either way you are more than welcome to comment, question, suggest or stir anything that causes you to be inspired.

Not only Love, love well

Philippians 1:9-10
So this is my prayer: that your love will flourish and that you will not only love much but well. Learn to love appropriately. You need to use your head and test your feelings10 so that your love is sincere and intelligent, not sentimental gush. Live a lover’s life, circumspect and exemplary, a life Jesus will be proud of:

Learning how to not just love much, but love well is the part that sticks out in my heart this morning. It is so very easy to just lay on thick the love that is as it is put in this verse the sentimental gush. but this type of love will not touch anyone. It is a phony love that does nothing but serve myself. People were created to crave the deep personal love. The love that is committed, tenacious, and long-suffering. We... I need to go past my feelings, my comfort zone, my rescue for the sake of rescue reaction and show others the deep love they are created for. When others see this type of love, they begin to get a glimpse of the love of a father that would send his son to give his life just because we needed him.

This is loving well. This is living well. This is the great commission that I am called to.
