JOURNAL=LOVE-THE ONLY DREAM WORTH LIVING




“BELOVED-let us LOVE ONE ANOTHER-because LOVE is of GOD” 1 John 4:7




WE recently celebrated CHRISTMAS-the coming of Jesus-the SON OF GOD-bringing GOD'S LOVE to earth-now that CHRISTMAS has come and gone-it is BACK to business as usual for most of us-EXCEPT those of us who TRY to LIVE their life based on what Jesus told us is the two GREATEST COMMANDMENTS-loving GOD-and loving ONE ANOTHER


WE must NEVER take CHRISTMAS for granted-nor for that matter-LOVE-love is a gift when given-and love is a gift WHEN RECEIVED-and I am NOT talking about sexual type of love-we must NEVER stop loving-for GOD LOVED us first-we are CHRIST'S MESSENGERS in the world and we must NEVER stop loving-for LOVE IS THE MESSAGE


it is a GREAT DAY to be ALIVE in GOD'S LOVE for us-and a great day for living the MESSAGE OF LOVE












LOVE-A DREAM WORTH LIVING




“IF I have ALL FAITH
So as to move mountains
But I do not have love
I AM NOTHING” 1 Corinthians 13:2


WHEN I was younger
In my late teens
In my early 20's
I had a PLAN A


And Plan A
Was to meet someone
Settle down
Have a family and a career
And LIVE HAPPILY ever after


And I am SURE
There are those of you
That had that same dream
As I


It's funny
HOW things work out


MY WHOLE LIFE
Changed on my 22^nd birthday
With an operation


AND GOD
Brought me back to him


And maybe GOD
HAS BROUGHT YOU
Back to him
In some other way


I HOPE SO


For there are many of us
Out there
Who have lost track
Of themselves
And their dreams
Of CHANGING the world


By living the wrong dream
And they can't
FIND THEIR WAY
Back to God


Love is
THE ONLY DREAM
Worth living


“LOVE is patient
Love is kind


It does not envy
It does not boast


It is not proud
It is not rude


It is not self seeking
It is NOT easily angered
It KEEPS no record
Of wrongs


LOVE does not delight
In evil
But REJOICES
With the truth


IT ALWAYS PROTECTS
Always trusts
Always hopes
Always perseveres


LOVE NEVER FAILS” 1 Corinthians 13:4-8


As we
Go about our journey
In life
We forget
That love


THE GIVING AND RECEIVING
Of love
IS the only dream
Worth living


NO OTHER
Kind of investment
Of our time and treasure
WILL BRING us peace


The funny thing
About love
Is that
The more we give
THE MORE we have to give


GOD-YOU ARE LOVE
YOU ARE my very life
You are the ONLY DREAM
Worth Living
