Don't Forget To Love

Remember to think about why it happened

Don't Forget To Love

This world can be a more than frustrating place so it is hard to always be Christ like. Sometimes when we encounter other people, we forget to do something that is more important than we realize.

As Christians, we are always suppose to love on people, even when we are frustrated or angry at them. For those that you know it is easier to love on them because you know what they have been through. But what about those that are strangers to us?

There is a whole world out there that we do not know about. Just recently I have had conversations with several people and I was left in awe. People go through so much more than we understand because we ourselves have never experienced what they have. There may even be people you know that has gone though some tough situations in life and you may not know it.

After we realize that there is so much about people that we do not know, it changes how we treat them when something happens. We might want to yell at someone or ignore them or do whatever it is we do when they make us angry, but remember to think about why it happened. There is hidden hurt that causes people to act the way they do and our job as Christians is to heal them. Don't get me wrong, sometimes people do things that are without excuse. There are other people that we fail to see what is hurting them on the inside and we also fail to show them Christ like love.

So many things happen to people in this world, things we don't know. Never forget that there may be things that you don't know about, so do not be quick to judge. Also remember that you are an ambassador of Christ and to always show his love to people wherever you go.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
