Welcome Friends! Do All Things With Love Love is the most important ingredient of life. Your life echoes emptiness without it. With it, you life vibrates meaning and warmth. Love will shine through even in hardship. You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments that stand out, the moments when you have really lived, are the moments when you have done things in a spirit of love. If you have it, you don't need to have anything else, and if you don't have it, it doesn't much matter what else you have. Treasure the love you receive above everything else. It will survive long after your wealth and good health have vanished. The way is not in the sky. The way is in the heart. Life in abundance comes only through great love. Love is a commitment to value another in the same way that God values me. It is a choice I can make to sacrifice my own wishes for the positive welfare of another, reaching our with gratitude for the One who first loved me. “ Beloved, let us love one another, love is of God; and every one that loves is born of God, and knows God.” 1 John 4:7 In His Image Daily Attributes of the Christian Life Copyright by Rebecca Barlow Jordan Used by Permission.
