Thought For Today - 10/16/09















I strive to just "love" on people. This is the key to my and your freedom - freedom from fear, rejection, and failure just to name a few. Love is a gift from God that should be shared and used as a blessing to all who are on this journey with us.

But, until we are engulfed with the love of God, we will not be able to recognize that which we have been created to do. Until we can love others as God loves us, we will not be able to give our love gifts to the world around us.

Our love for one another should be as God's love is to us. God's love for us is not controlled by or invested in how we respond to Him. God's love is not into manipulating us to carry out some aspect of our lives according to His wishes.

Instead God is about developing a healthy interdependence love relationship with us — that is, independence that frees all of us to be all we can be, but still allows us to get an appropriate amount of support and encouragement from Him when needed.

Now, what are you going to do?

Much love,
Joseph
