"One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody." Mother Teresa

Are we such a self-aborbed people that we cannot even love someone, that we can't even care for someone? Just one person?! Imagine that for a moment.

Don't be so self-absorbed that you cannot see the hurt all around you. The pain in the world and the tears the flow freely all around us. This is a hurting world.

Be someone to somebody. Love someone. Give that person the love they so deeply desire. While no, it will not satisfy them like the incomprehendible love of the Father...they will see Him through your love and maybe will turn to Him. Give to that person selflessly. It is easy to say you can do this, but try it...you will realize it is hard. But it gets easier to love selflessly as time passes. Loving like this becomes part of you. This love pours out of you. It has a name. It originates from one source. It is Christ's love.

"For they will know we are Christians by our love." Love that pours out of our being toward all of His creation...that is Christian love. It looks beyond color, deformity, mentality, and morals--everything the world's love is based on. The world's love is not free. In order to win the world's love you have to line up with what it says to be right and true. How terrible to live where you cannot be you. Where you cannot be who God set you apart to be.

Love the widowed, the orphaned, the unloveable--love them like your life depended on it.
