1 John 4:11  Dear friends, since God so loved us, we ought to love one another.

 Dear Lord only with Your help. I take great pleasure in doing Your will. I set my eyes on You today, fully focus to live my faith with unselfish acts of love and kindness. May my actions and words always point others to You. Amen.

  The chief attribute of the Father and of the Son is love to each other, and love to mankind. This should be the chief characteristic of a true Christian. Life becomes a well of living water, flowing out  as love to the Lord Jesus.  We should take pleasure in doing the will of the Lord. As the love of Christ, and the patience of Christ, was shown to us, we should exhibit the same.  There is such great joy in being a witness to the world of the power of Christ that changed us. 

I have learned that it is so important to even love those who anoy the heck out of you. By that I mean. Pray for them. At that moment start praying.  God has put them in your path for a reason. Give to them the patience and compassion that God has given to me. I had this experience on my cruise.  Such a friendly outgoing person me and my sister met at  Karaoke. We bumped into him quite a bit on the ship. But one day was a little longer conversation.. I knew there was a purpose. Language was a bit much in conversation. That F word like it was nothing. But he was genuine.  Loud, but genuine. He wasn't even a drinker. It's just who he was. I prayed for the Holy Spirit to show me the open door to mention Jesus, and He did.  I asked what his faith was, because he started talking about the hardship in his family with his children and divorce.  He explained how he believed, and it wasn't just Jesus. I spoke, seed planted for Gods glory.  We continued to stay friends on the ship,  and enjoy each other's company when we happened to see each other at karaoke. He was such a great singer. Give somebody God's time when you sense it. You never know what that seed planted will do.

 Always for your glory Lord.
