A Must Read for All Christians!

The Sensitivity Of The Human Heart

Once I get past the anger of another person's cruelty I recognize what a tender heart we ALL must have! The fact that a person you've never met can hurt you by their words is quite interesting to me. How can someone I've never met in person effect my emotion's just by words on a page????.....Amazing to find how tender we are. Yes the outer shell is tough from life, or backround, or for whatever reason, but get past that place and wow what a tender, soft spot it is!  I guess it will reinforce and help me to remember how tender we all are when I open my mouth to speak...even if it is just words on a page!
All I can say is "Thank You" for reminding me how tender and soft and valuable people are, by your willingness to not think before you write! It is a wonderful opportunity for ME to grow as a person, because of the thoughtlessness of others.
I think we all strive to be what God intended us to be, I just happen to war sometimes with the "old" me and the person I am trying to be. Life....what a ride eh!

God has really been talking to me about Love lately

I guess thats why my site is named what it is!
I was talking with my "mama" Martha, who is all alone and in Oklahoma and we were talking about a preacher who was doing a teaching series on love. She doesn't get out hardly if at all so she lives on Christian cassette tapes, Christain books and Christian TV.
It just struck me as so funny that Christians need to be TAUGHT love....I mean they say they know Jesus...if they did then they would know how to LOVE a human being! Love is giving and caring and sometimes giving to a point it is sacrificial in your own personal life. Wether that sacrifice is financial, time, etc.
How hard is it to love someone?
I know loving your enemy is tough, but God has really taught me alot about that too. It just strikes me as funny is all.
