Always Working On It

 
"Love is a choice" I'm pretty sure we've all heard or seen this at some point in our lives and, typically, it's referring to marriage. But......love is a choice in any and all situations.
When a friend unknowing hurts you, choose to love
When a friend knowingly hurts you, choose to love
When someone you know is crazy annoying in your opinion, choose to love
When someone is driving horribly around you, choose to love
When your spouse fails you, choose to love
When someone has gossiped about you, choose to love
When someone you barely know hurts you, choose to love
When someone cheats you, choose to love
When anyone does anything to you that hurts, angers or produces any negative reaction, CHOOSE TO LOVE!

"Love is PATIENT, love is KIND. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." 1 Cor. 13:4-7

We need to be the change we want to see.....don't think for a second that it's ok to treat others poorly just because they might or have. It's not.....it never will be. You change, you love, you be gracious, you turn the other cheek. It's difficult, it's hard, it's a process and will be something you stive towards for the rest of your life but do it.....do the unexpected in today's world. Surprise people <3
