Three Reasons Why Love Matters Most
Such a great post on LOVE that I just had to share! 🙂
There’s just something about love. There’s been songs written about it, movies made for it, Hallmark makes a killing on it but what strikes me most is how much it was actually used in the bible and the amount of justice laid to it. According to that, there is no greater thing that you can do than just love as shown in the passage just below:
Galatians 5:13-15 (New International Version)

The entire law is summed up in a single command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.

Two True Fables: Part Two
(To read Part One, click here)
Nearly every 60s family had a turtle. Some flushed theirs down the toilet (resulting in an outbreak of sewer-dwelling ninjas). But our neighbors the Cartingers couldn’t bear to part with their too-big-to-flush tortoise Toby, and he eventually grew to be the size of a dinner plate.
There was no containing him. He would wander incessantly, so the threat of stepping on him was ever present–he was visibly nervous about living amid a herd of sneakers. So Mr. Cartinger drilled a hole in the corner of Toby’s shell and tied a length of hot-pink yarn to it. The other end he tied to the foot of the stairs.
Toby was now free to roam, and whenever anyone wanted him they would simply “follow the yarn.” Things went swimmingly. One moment Toby would be on the third stair and an hour later…

Magnum Opus
You are made by Him and for Him…to be true to Him and reveal His amazing love and beauty to the world you touch. Enjoy!
I feel a sense of connection to great artists when I view their work.
I feel an even deeper sense of connection to The Artist when I view His work.
Creation does not limit or “contain” God. But it does reveal his character “in the same sense that the arrangement of furniture in your apartment is a manifestation of your will.” (Dallas Willard). Nature reveals God’s aesthetic, his beauty. And when I look upon creation, I hear him whispering, “You too were made by me. If you remain true, you–more than all of these–will reveal Me.”
“The heavens declare the glory of God.” ~Psalm 19:1
“This same God is at work in us.” ~1 Corinthians 12:6
