To fall in love is by chance,To love is a choice;To fall out of love is a choice too,You are free to choose, but you are not free from the consequences of your choices.Sometimes we create our own heartbreaks through expectations. God knows that I have often done that! Never chase love, affection or attention. If it isn't given freely by another person, it isn't worth having. Pastor Jack Hyles taught me that you don't seek happiness in life; you simply do your duty, and along the way happiness will come find you. Proverb 3:13, “Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding.” Proverb 28:14, “Happy is the man that feareth [God] alway: but he that hardeneth his heart shall fall into mischief.”
Never apologize for having high standards. People who really want to be in your life will rise up to them. Stand up for what is right even if you're standing alone!
Never blame anyone in your life.Good people give you happiness.Bad people give you experience.The worst people give you a lesson.And the best people give you memories.Everybody you have ever met in your life was brought to you for a reason.
I have come to understand that we do not love people because they are beautiful, but people become beautiful because we love them. Jesus said in Luke 12:34, “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” The more that I pray for my neighbours, the more I love them, because I am investing my time and heart into them. In effect, they are my treasure. My web visitors, in whom I have poured my heart, soul and time for the past 17 years, are MY TREASURE!!! Jesus said WHERE YOUR TREASURE IS, THERE WILL YOUR HEART BE ALSO!!!
We do not love people because they are perfect, but love propels us to see them as perfect. I love the Gospel hymn: “HE LOOKED BEYOND MY FAULT, AND SAW MY NEED.” Love changes the way we view everything in this life. It compels us to think different, talk different, act different and live different. There is no pain that love cannot heal, no obstacle that it cannot overcome, no weakness that it cannot strengthen, no darkness that it cannot lighten up, no shortcoming that it cannot overlook, no wrong that it cannot right, and no broken heart that it cannot mend. GOD IS LOVE!!! The more Christ-like we become, the more loving we are. The world does not really understand the real meaning of love because they do not know the One Who is Love.
May we all love God and others, every single day of our lives, and not just once in a year at Christmas time. “Christmas 365 Days A Year” (Pastor Jack Hyles). Micah 7:18, “Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.” Jesus is precious!!!
