Reality Check

I am sorry for not posting all week! It has been a very odd week. I went to the doctor because I wasn't feeling too well early this week and he put me on an antibiotic, which I have now had two reactions to. So a few missed classes, unknown symptoms, and a EGK later, here I am! Please pray that all of the unusual things are said and done, and that my grades won't suffer too much either! Anyway, God's been teaching me a lot about love this week. You might have done this before, but this is a perfect reality check for us all; replace your name in 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7.  I have started doing it every morning to set myself mentally and spiritually right for the day. Give it a try, it really puts the life we are called to lead and the one you are living into perspective!

Always remember that love is God's greatest command! People should know us by our love, first and foremost! For many unbelievers, you might be the only example of Jesus they have. When we do not love, but claim to know God we risk an entire generation's understanding of Jesus! Always remember God's command to "live a life of love." 2 John 1:6.
