Good Morning!!! Currently I am sitting in my keyboarding class- this is simply an elective class that just takes up some time inmy scheduele. If my teacher is reading this, don't worry I love ya a lot and your class gives me time to read and ponder...and BLOG ;)
Ok-so this morning I licked a TON of envelopes to send out the rest of my Thank You cards to all those who have supported me financially thus far. Can I just say that I still have the horrendous after taste of nasty envelope-ness. HA, but really, it's really gross. But hey, it's for good reasons right? Therefore, if you get a thank you note in the mail please know that my tongue suffered for you this morning.
On a more serious note- this morning at One Club Miles Ownby spoke about anger and love. God has definitley been gently whispering in my ear about loving all. It just got louder this morning through Miles. You see, it's so easy to love those that I enjoy to be around and love. It's so much harder to love those that are incredibly annoying and just blaah. Yet, by only loving those that I love then I'm simply being like a Pharissee. I strive to love all. I am reading a book currently called Irresistable Love by Shane Claiborne, which is rocking my world by the way and I highly reccomend it. Anyway so he has talked a whole lot about love...love is not easy. Heck it's brutal and hard, but so worth it. "Love is not sentimental but heart wrenching, the most difficult but most beautiful thing in the world."
I'm thankful that God is teaching me this now. Love has no bounds. Love never fails. Love doesn't pick and choose who to 'put up with'. Love is eternal and not temporary. Love is not discriminatory. God is love! There's a verse in John 13:35 that says they will know you by the way that you LOVE one another!! also, what's the two greatest commandments?? Love God and Love People. These words wouldn't be red letters if Jesus didn't mean it. He wasn't just wasting His breath. He's meant to be taken literally. I strive to know so much more deeply how high wide deep and long Jesus' love for me is. Because once I love myself and love God unconditionally, then I can love ALL people unconditionally. I seek, hunger and thirst for this love!!
Will you pray with me to love all unconditionally?
Love,
Laura Beth Harbin
