The phrase, “Falling In Love” is something that happens in an instant. It is seemingly a moment in time for many. This LOVE did not take any work. It just happened. Like an event happens to us. But this kind of love is just a start. Love is a journey more than an event. And all journeys take time and effort. It is a journey of discovery. You discover yourself for one thing. If you want to know yourself better, try loving even when you don’t feel it. I don’t always want to be of service to others or love my neighbor, but I grow up and know myself better when I try to be loving. Plus, I realize that I need God, a Power greater than my weak self to journey in any loving effort.

I sincerely hope your mission thrives. The Church these days seems overly intent on preaching politics and battering its members with ultimatums and threats instead of focusing on the messages of love, forgiveness and daily sacrifice that convert followers from the inside out and are therefore more effective in the long run!
