Making the Most of Life

Partiality builds Walls
Love breaks them down.

Read: Luke 5:17-26

Have a LOVE-filled day!

I hope today’s message inspires and challenges our heart to want to be a giver in life. When we take the time to help others, that is when we find what true joy and happiness is all about.

Making The Most of Life…

If I can throw a single ray of light across the darkened pathway of another; 
If I can aid some soul to clearer sight of life and duty, and thus bless my brother; 
If I can wipe from any human cheek a tear, 
I shall not have lived my life in vain while here.

If I can guide some erring one to truth, inspire within his heart a sense of duty; 
If I can plant within my soul of rosy youth a sense of right, a love of truth and beauty; 
If I can teach one man that God and heaven are near, 
I shall not then have lived in vain while here.

If from my mind I banish doubt and fear, and keep my life attuned to love and kindness; 
If I can scatter light and hope and cheer, and help remove the curse of mental blindness; 
If I can make more joy, more hope, less pain, 
I shall not have lived and loved in vain.

If by life's roadside I can plant a tree, beneath whose shade some wearied head may rest, 
Though I may never share its beauty, 
I shall yet be truly blessed though no one knows my name, nor drops a flower upon my grave, 
I shall not have lived in vain while here.

Rejoice in God’s Message of Love for you:

Jesus declares “But rather, love your enemies and do good to them, and lend expecting nothing back; then your reward will be great and you will be children of the Most High, for he himself is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked. Be merciful, just as [also] your Father is merciful.” -- Luke 6:35-36
