Why are people afraid to let people love them?   Well.... people have been hurt.  That's pretty much it.  Sooo are people going to choose to live miserably because they are afraid to get hurt again.  YEP!  Crazy!  I am a bit tired of people looking at me as if I have only one motive... to SAVE them.  No my motive is to love them... God does the saving.  So since I'm a Christian, that means I am perfect and I think everyone needs to be perfect also to get saved?  ENOUGH!  I LOVE PEOPLE PERIOD!!!  Yes I strive for holiness and I TRY to align myself with God's perfection.... why?  Because I lived a life where I did not care and where evil was always lurking at my door step, and I was miserable!!! 

I am not asking people to be something they are not.  Be you and if it's working for you that's great, but if not, why not check yourself and see why?  Could it be that we don't know everything?  Where does knowledge and wisdom come from?  The Lord!  Are you obeying the Lord.... in all things?  Oh... but your world is falling apart and it's God's fault right?  How lame does that sound?  The Lord has given us a choice.  We either follow his ways or we don't.  But when you do it leads to so much goodness!  Or you could follow your own ways which leads to wherever, and then you find that you are so lost & confused with emptiness, hate, frustration, stress, anger, fear... and on and on... and it's God's fault?  Take responsibility for yourself.  Get up, live life and love it! 

"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. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."  1Corinthians 13:4-13 NIV
