I don't want to be someone who says one thing but doesn't act on it. I want Christ's love to show through every word and action of mine.
I was trying to think how to show people on this site Christ's love so, I just want to put myself out there for anyone who needs prayer to PM me and I will pray for you.

Mark 12:28b-31 (NLT)"Of all the commandments, which is the most important?" 
29 Jesus replied, "The most important commandment is this: `Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord. 
30 And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.'
31 The second is equally important: `Love your neighbor as yourself.'No other commandment is greater than these." 

John 13:35 Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples." 


1 Corinthians 13(NLT)
I could speak in any language in heaven or on earth but didn't love others, I would only be making meaningless noise like a loud gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I knew all the mysteries of the future and knew everything about everything, but didn't love others, what good would I be? And if I had the gift of faith so that I could speak to a mountain and make it move, without love I would be no good to anybody. 3 If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it;  but if I didn't love others, I would be of no value whatsoever.
4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. Love does not demand its own way. Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged. 6 It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
8 Love will last forever, but prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will all disappear. 9 Now we know only a little, and even the gift of prophecy reveals little! 10 But when the end comes, these special gifts will all disappear.
11 It's like this: When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child does. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. 12 Now we see things imperfectly as in a poor mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity.  All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God knows me now.
13 There are three things that will endure-faith, hope, and love-and the greatest of these is love.

Refreshing to read. It so easy to just get mad now and days and learn to just let things go. I know I work on this constantly. Thanks for sharing.
