Love begets love

Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:16 NIV)

 Very few people are intentionally mean, unkind, or unloving on purpose. Yet it’s so easy to let the priority of love get crowded out in a multitude of business.
 Or it’s easy to fall into measuring the behavior of others and subconsciously deciding who we think is worthy or deserving of our time and attention and who isn’t.
 Those are natural, human tendencies, but that doesn’t change the fact that when we lack love, when we don’t manifest love, it can have terrible consequences.
 You know, someone doesn’t have to be perfect in order to deserve our love.
 Love is what our mission is all about. Love is our trademark—or it should be! Love begets love. It inspires others to give their best. It brings down the Lord’s blessings. And it makes us happy.
 When there is a lack of love, it’s usually a cycle too. A lack of love creates more problems, which perpetuates even more lacks in our love.
 Whenever you feel lacking in love Ask the Lord for a miracle, He’ll fill your heart to overflowing. You can never outgive Him! —M. Fontaine [1]

 If you have kindness in your heart, you offer acts of kindness to touch the hearts of others wherever you go—whether they are random or planned. Kindness becomes a way of life. —Roy T. Bennett
