“Are any among you suffering? They should pray. Are any cheerful? They should sing songs of praise.” – James 5:13
I’m not sure what will happen next in my life, but I know what will not happen. All my energy will be devoted to bringing God’s Love and peace to my corner of the earth; useless spats are worthless to fret over. I pray that we can embrace one another peacefully with our hearts leading the way, allowing love to embrace bb you and me leading us from a state of fear to a state of comfort and trust.
The Love of God dwells within us all; it is our heart! It is the gift of kindness, compassion, and brotherhood, a Love placed there by God that cannot be taken way, only shared through Grace. O God, we are your children, Jesus promises us, “I will give you whatever you ask in my name, will be given. . .” He promises Love! He asked us to Love God, Love ourselves, and love our neighbors. He also asked who are our neighbors, implying that all people are our neighbors.
We are to love all people; that is what God asks. We must think before we ask.
