May we be bold and faithful in our walk with God. If we are to say that we love God, then let us truly love Him. Love does not disregard the person that they love. It is spending time with them. Real love does not only want someone, when they want something. They love at all times. Love is respectful and kind; it does not go against what the other has asked us not to do. It truly listens and respects the request. Love is talking things out; in the good and in the bad. It is that open, constant communication that keeps things working. It is learning about the other person. In that learning, we can love deeper. Real love is unselfish, unwavering and wants the best for everyone involved in it. It is not self-centered. Many proclaim a love for God, but few are genuine. Friend, I do not want people to wonder if I love God, I want them to know I love God! In that knowing, I want to set an example of what that that looks like. I want to live my life as a messenger, by how I live my life for God and how He speaks through me; to bring others to Him. Friend, may we not just say that we love God. Anyone can say that they believe. Anyone can say that they love Him. Love is just letters, until it is followed with action. Friend, may we be bold enough in our faith, to show our love for God at all times. For there is no love as strong as His love for us. May we show our gratitude to Him daily, as we live out our lives with a true love for Him! Let us go bold my friend; for words alone do not save us, a true relationship with Him does. May we go boldly actively loving Him, like we say that we do.
