Death reminds us that tomorrow is not promised. It motivates us to love and celebrate each other while we have the opportunity. Losing a loved one is hard and upon reflection we sometimes realize that we had so many wasted moments not filled with love. Can we decide today to never let our relationships end thinking “I wish I had loved more”? Can we decide today to put on love — that we wont ever go a day without it?
God gives and He takes away (Job 1:21). The rain falls on the just and the unjust (Matthew 5:45). We are not protected against broken hearts, hurt feelings, or loss but even though hard times come — we have God, we have the hope held out in the gospel, we have the assurance that ALL things work out for our good.
Can we decide to never to give up on love? Can we decide today that we will not love like the world loves, but that we will love like God loves us? Can we do that? Yes, we can. Will it be hard? It may seem like it is because it is against what the world wants and what our flesh wants us to do. Is it worth it? It is worth more than we can imagine!
Choose love TODAY!
