People Are Gifts
Why do we treat our blessings as burdens? Why are we so quick to get annoyed or frustrated with the people closest to us? Why are the people we love the most, often the ones we treat the worst? Maybe it's because we give so much of ourselves to them, or maybe it's because we know they still love us at our worst. Whatever the reason, the truth is that people are our greatest gifts from the Lord.
I want to do my best to look at them through my Father's eyes, giving them all the love He so freely gives to me. They're not perfect, but neither am I. Unconditional love doesn't have strings attached, nor does it ever get tired. Lord, make me an instrument of your love.

Love God, Love Others
Raise your hand if you love God🙋🏼♀️
Raise your hand if you love others🙋🏼♀️
Raise your hand if you think the two go hand in hand🙋🏼♀️
I hope you're all raising your hands😉
Unfortunately, there seems to be a disconnect between those things. We love God, but we leave it up to Him to love others. We're too busy, too superior, too scared...whatever excuse we can find. Loving others isn't a priority in our lives, even though we know God calls us to do it. In fact, the two greatest commandments are to love God and to love others.
And loving others is actually an extension of our love for God. Treating His children with kindness is a way of honoring and worshiping Him. He delights in His people when they unite and hold each other up. He created us to help each other through life, not make it harder on each other. Love is not an option; it is a command.

Someone Who Loves
Find someone who sticks by you through thick and thin. Someone who loves you constantly, even when you don't deserve it. Someone who compliments you at your worst and sees the best in you. Find someone who makes you laugh, even when things are falling apart. Someone who acts silly with you when no one is looking. Someone who winks at you in a room full of people. Someone who builds you up, even when you're not there to hear it. Find someone who isn't perfect, but always tries to be better. Someone who works hard, but also plays hard. Someone who invests in you and encourages you. Someone who dreams about the future and aims to achieve their goals. Someone who loves you more than life, and loves Jesus even more. And if you have that person already, make sure they know how much they mean to you.❤

Life as a Christian in today's world can be tough, and that's why we all need to stick together. Our first priority should be pointing others to Christ through our actions and our words. Following His
