love

God has revealed to me his love in a new way. I just got back from a mission’s trip to Denver, Colorado. It was amazing, I’m not going to talk about all the details right now, but I want to talk about the main thing God taught me this week. I saw the power of love firsthand. Our team did a lot of things related to the homeless of Denver. We got to just love people. I had never really had that perspective on Christian outreach- just Love. But I have found it is the key. Love is the key and the power of Christ. I see what joy it is to just love God first and love people with that love that only comes from Christ. I want my life to be a living example of the love of Christ. I want to just love people for being people. I don’t think I ever saw other people as human. I saw people as statistics, or stereotypes, or projects and not human beings just like me. To see people as human beings completely changes how I relate to people and opens up doors for me to just love them.

“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”-Matthew 22:36-40 ESV
