#loveproject365

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrong. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, it always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Inspired by a friend who recently finished the #JoyProject365, I have committed this year to loving others and seeing the best in the world around me. With the election of 2016, so many people have lost focus of what's really important and instead chose to belittle and bash others in ways that were unimaginable before. Politics and religion have always brought some tension in the world, but most civil people could look past belief systems and still be friends and discuss ideas that mattered to them without a complete disowning of a friend. So, this year, I am choosing love and for 365 days, I will post about the things and people I love and those I am working on loving. 

So, here we go...

2/365 #loveproject365

You can't start love without Jesus as He is the best example of love we have and the model of how we should love one another. Without Jesus, I would not know love as I do today. Jesus came to earth to show us how to love one another. He acted out each day loving others and in the end sacrificed his life for us. For all of us, even those who betrayed Him, beat him and spit on Him. 

I pray this year to be more like Jesus and to love others unconditionally. 

"My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you."

John 15:12
