God there’s more to life than just living for me. I’ll come and go in a blink of an eye. I want my life to mean something more, to give something back to Jesus. You have given everything for me; you have given me life and life abundantly. My heart hurts for people who are treated wrongfully, unjustly, and left for none. As I get older I come to the realization of how cold this world truly is. As I think of it I feel discouraged, angry at myself for not knowing what I could do for this world, I feel- stuck.
What can I do? I hear your voice in my soul saying “there’s nothing that I haven’t already done for you” I hear, “Love just as I have loved you”! Hate will never change the problems of this world. It will only give you an excuse to have bitterness. It will give you an excuse to be like the people who hate you. I’m not saying that we should stay silent either. There is a problem; we have problems all over the world, and in my own backyard, in my country that I truly love. Change will only come if you and I would love one another. I have given my life to love and His name is Jesus.
If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. Love never fails. – 1 Corinthians 13
