February is here and with it comes a time of celebration of LOVE! Now when I speak of this celebration of love, I speak of not only love for a significant other, but love for others, and ALL mankind. This month we celebrate Valentine’s Day with much love; Black history is a month when we pay tribute to those who struggled to bring us to where we are today. The ultimate, is the love of one greater than us all; He gave it all that we might have life with Him eternally, and we get to choose. The greatest love of all is free to us, but a price had to be paid.When we think about love, there is always a price. When giving of…

Are you ready for the love bug? Love for our fellow man is like a virus, I hope you are ready to catch it!

“One of the mysteries of life is that none of us knows when we’re going to die. But it’s a fact that we will die. If we are willing to accept this and trust God with the end point of our time on this earth, then we can focus on how we will fill in the dash between the year we were born and the year we will die. We can make our dash an incredible adventure of discovery, joy, and purposeful contentment. We can live.”

“What you do with your dash of time here on this earth prepares you for eternity. Until you understand the fact that life is preparation for eternity, life won’t make sense to you.”

“The more we can put the practice of grace into our lives, the greater the legacy we will leave. Author Jackie Windspear put it this way: ‘Grace isn’t a little prayer you chant before receiving a meal. It’s a way to live’.”

“We grow in maturity and create a world-conscious heart when we work in community. Whether it’s through our churches, our schools, our companies, our neighborhoods, or our families, we’re called to come together to help others. Together we can literally change the world.”

“Our time in this life is limited. If we truly want to ensure that we’ve fulfilled our purpose when it’s our time to go, then we must stay squarely in God’s will, trusting, delighting, and committing to His path. He’s the only One who can rebuild our lives and redirect us when our will collides with His.”

“But if we build our lives on convictions, character, and community, then we will have established an eternal memorial that will benefit countless lives for untold generations. We will have spent our lives creating a bridge that ultimately leads others to God, and there’s no more satisfying legacy than that.”

“If you want to know that your life matters, then you must be willing to plant eternal seeds in the fertile places of your life. When you focus on knowing God’s Word and commit to loving others selflessly, you can expect a bumper crop of blessings in your life. Like the enveloping presence of a mighty oak, you will shelter future generations with the power of your timeless legacy.”

“Obedience always leads to God’s blessing. When you use your influence and affluence to obey God, He will enable you to leave behand a permanent inheritance.”
