"A friend loves at all times." Proverbs 17:17
This is a very popular Bible verse to share with your friends to cheer them up on a bad day. However, I am learning to look at this from a new perspective. Instead of it being a verse just for friends, lets look at it for a guideline for our lives.
Loves at all times. How many times have I hurt other people? Too many to count.
I need to be willing to love at all times.
When others bring me down, I must love them.
When others gossip about me, I must love them.
At all times. Not when I feel like it. Not when I am having a good day. Not just on Sunday. At all times, through the good and bad.
Just some food for thought right there.

Julia,
A wise person gave me some really good advice recently. It was something that I knew and practiced, but somehow through all the crazy circumstances of life, I forgot. The advice: Love with your heart instead of your head. Remember that Jesus loves us at all times because there is no hiding anything from Him no matter how hard we try. It is a lot harder than it sounds. If we practice each day to love at all times we will eventually not even think about it because it will be as natural as breathing in and out. I love your blog.
