It’s difficult to stand by and watch the people we love make choices that we believe are not good for them.
It is our love for them that makes us care about them … that makes us concerned for them and that makes us hurt for them because we know that they will almost certainly reap bad results from their choices.
But we have no right to force our opinions on anyone else.
The key thing to remember is that we cannot measure another person’s behavior against our own. Especially if that person is not at the same place as you spiritually. They may not even believe.
Ultimately everyone is accountable for their own actions. The very best thing that we can do for someone is to love them. And if we can’t love them out of our own hearts, we can love them out of Gods heart.

God Loves us! God pursues us with his love and even when we ‘sin’ he continues to love us and pursue us. All that we need to do, is keep our hearts pointed towards God.
Yes, we will have to face the consequences of our behavior, but we will still feel loved and comforted and protected by our God.
That is love out of the box!

It’s only human to want all the goings on in this world to make sense. But we will never have an explanation for everything and sometimes we miss the entire point of hardship because we are trying to explain it away.
The reality is that on earth, bad things do not only happen to bad people.
The big secret to facing life’s trials, is to lift our eyes above the situation and fix them on God, knowing that he is omniscient – infinite in knowledge, omnipotent – unlimited in power and omnipresent – present everywhere. He knows what we are going through and He will endure with us to the end.
And even though God is so awesome and incredible and Almighty, He is also all loving, all compassionate and all forgiving.
He is intensely in love with us and He will always meet us where we are at.

In the past two weeks I have been privileged to witness many MIRACLES all because of God’s LOVE for us and our LOVE for others and this … is LIFE!
If we call on God, He will show up and He will heal all our brokenness in a most profound and miraculous way.
What a blessing. What a privilege. What a life. What could possibly be more wonderful than that.
