LOVE

As I was spending time with the Lord this morning I came across Deut. 6:5-7 and it reads:
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts.

I felt so overwhelmed, I have read this before, but the Lord spoke it to me this morning in a different way. Sometime I don't even know how to love with all my heart, yet alone with all my soul and strength! Why do I struggle with love? If HE loves me that much then I should love Him and everything else in this world just as much. Is it because I have a worldly view of love? As I studied more I felt His grace upon my shoulders. You see even though we don't love like He loves, (because our love is imperfect) we still should love! I know I have a hard time showing and receiving love and that's when the 5 love languages come in handy. They are: Affirmation, Time, Gifts, Service and Touch.

Love - it's the greatest gift of all and even though we love imperfectly we still should love. So today I send out all my love to everyone and everything...even to the bugs!
