I remember being in Byron Bay for our 24 hours of prayer.
People were asking us where to find weed or if we wanted a drink. Some people
were so drunk that they couldn’t even stand up. And yet we still loved them and
listened to them. After a while it was easy for me to look past it and just
love on them.

I remember first coming to the overpass dump here in the
Philippines. Everything was so dirty. The kids, the ground and the air. I was
afraid to touch any of the kids. Would I catch a disease? Would my hands get
disgusting? After going there several times now I look past their
dirtiness and see the real need. They need love. They need people like us, who
have so much more, to show that they are worthy of love. Now I embrace them
with loving arms every time I see them

Jesus and Paul talk so much about love.
If you do all these great things in Jesus name but don’t
love then it is nothing.
love then it is nothing.
If you live in love, God lives in you.
Love one another.
The greatest of these is love.
We are commanded to love. It is pretty simply stated. And
yet actually living it can be the hardest thing of all. I am learning so much
about what that means. And for now it means to love despite the circumstances.
Love the dirty, the poor, the drunk, the hungry and the broken.

I have this friend Michael. I lead a small group with him
everyday at Children’s Garden. One day I shared one of my favorite verses with
him. 1 John 4:16 “So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has
for us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and God abides
in him.” A few days later he told me that he shares it with everyone he can. He
tells the boys there all the time that God loves them. He says he wants to go
out and share that with everybody that he can.

Share God’s love. Today.
