Infectious Love

We take life too seriously. That's my honest opinion.

I feel like life is changing at such a rapid pace, and yet everything is staying exactly the same. I'd really like to know when life became all about money and status and how we look to someone else. Last I checked, money doesn't leave your mark on the world. Neither does having 600 Facebook friends or someone to text you every day. 

Love leaves a mark on the world. Love begins a legacy that will carry on. I want to be one of those people that just radiates love. I want people to look at me and think "how does one person fit so much love in a single body?" Why should anything else matter? 

You can't take money with you when you die. It can numb your pain for a day, but it can't fill emptiness.  

Philippians 4:11-13
For I have learned to be content, whatever the circumstances may be. I know now how to live when things are difficult and I know how to live when things are prosperous. In general and in particular I have learned the secret of eating well or going hungry of facing either plenty of poverty. I am ready for anything through the strength of the One who lives within me.

And where does swearing get you in life? I mean really. Do you not have the intelligence to come up with more than a whopping four letter word? 

James 3: 11-13 

Does a spring pour forth from the same opening both fresh and salt water? Can a fig tree, my brothers, bear olives, or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can a salt pond yield fresh water. Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom.

I don't understand why it's so hard to love these days. To put someone else before yourself. No one is perfect, but we could all stand to try a little harder.
