Love someone

According to the National Day Calendar, it is National Love People Day. My first thought when I read that was, "WOW, what a good reminder!" My second thought was, "WOW, we need to be reminded to love people?" I mean, shouldn't loving others be something that comes rather naturally?

I admit that there are people in this world that are hard to love; they don't love themselves, they are angry at the world, they hate everyone. However, a friend of mine told me years ago, "Don't ever call anyone worthless that JESUS died for, and He died for everyone." Everyone is deserving of love, even if it is hard to give.

Today's word is 1 Corinthians 13:8, NLT, which reads, "Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever!"

There are lots of things that people hold onto that are useless and completely worthless. There are people in this world that will do ANYTHING for fame or fortune. But, one day fame will be gone and fortunes don't go into eternity with you. Love, on the other hand, is always eternal; our loved ones that have passed into eternity are just as loved today as they have ever been.

If I haven't told you lately, I love you. I appreciate the privilege of being a small part of your life and you being a part of mine. It is National Love People Day, and while it should go without saying, go out and love someone.

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
