Love is on my mind today. What does love mean to you? Love means God to
me. What is love to you? In a time like this God should be our very center source of all we have. Without Him, we have nothing. With Him, all things
are possible. There is nothing impossible with God. Why is love on my mind you might ask? Well, to narrow it down, He is in control of everything
after all. Some might object that we have free-will, where-as some believe that God has absolute control of everything. If you do something good for someone, it is hope that something will be done good for you. Don't
expect it, just receive the blessings that God has for you as you journey
your day everyday. First seek Him and His abundance will overfill in your life. To Christians, Jesus is the Truth, Way and Life. It is important to always keep your focus on Jesus.

What's on your mind today? Maybe how will you get your rent paid, who's
going to take care of your kids? What is your neighbor doing? Don't let tomorrow worry you as today has enough to worry about itself. Love is
charity. The Holy Bible is filled with love, it is our survival guide to
keep us in right standings with Him.

God's promises are truth even in a day like this. We look at ourselves,
how we look on the outside, how people approach us and are concerned how we might be judged. God is the ultimate judge for all. God can make a
straight and narrow path for you if you allow Him to. The wide road is
easy and many people follow it.

Love (God) is on the minds of a lot of people, not just in one nation, but perhaps in all nations. Each nation has their own image of God. Who's to
say which one is truth and which one is false? Perhaps all are the right
way for their particular nation. There are kings in many nations, however, there is only one True King. The King of kings. There are many lords, yet there is only one Lord of lords.

Give your spirit a chance and open your mind to how others view your
particular situation to what God (Love) means to them and what it means to
you and see if there is common ground somewhere in between.

Speaking of free-will or God's obsolute power. It depends on your beliefs really. What do you believe? Present is the moment we live in and the
future is what holds, yet, perhaps live in the moment and make wise
decisions as you travel the spiral of living. God is in control. Why
does He allow bad things to happen? Perhaps it's to wake up a nation that
has fallen asleep, yet now, our minds are awake now more than ever. Every minute is precious as we can't replace time.

Concerning doing a good thing for someone... there are people with so much
and there are people with so little, yet there are people in between. Do
the rich get richer and the poor get poorer? If the rich would give to
the poor and the poor use what the rich have given them wisely then I don't
see why people can't preserve what they have and make things last. It's
about making decisions.

I choose to write because it's a passion and the words flow freely. I
hope you've enjoyed this article. Have a blessed day and put a smile on
your face and let your light shine bright!

Have a great day! Glory to His Holy Name Jesus!
