Love more

At the beginning of this year when everyone makes there New Years resolution I was determined not to make one. At the the end of the day most people never stick to them and some people aren't even successful past the first 24 hours.

God gently whispered to me "Love more". At first I thought "What a cliche'"...I mean when people ask you what your new years resolution is everyone wants to be a better person and loving more is just part of that. To better yourself more than the year just past.

It's more than my initial thought process though, it's not about going further and being the better me, in fact it's not about me at all. Loving more is all about others, seeing others going further, letting them be first, stoping, listening, forgiving. It's actually really simple and at the end of the day that's all God requires from me, the gospel is all about loving. It's who He is. God IS love, not God has love. It's a conscience decsion on a daily basis and choose to make 2013 the year I choose to love more.
