lenten prayer

Oh Lord increase my love for You! Let my heart burn and burn for You. Let me always speak the truth and stand up for the truth. I Love You! Thank You for loving me!

Wow! So the past couple days have been hectic. I jokingly say that I am a chauffeur. Because all I ever seem to be doing is driving friends and siblings around town. It feels great though to put others before me but at the same time I feel so selfish! It wears me out having to constantly be there for people. How did the saints do it. This was Mother Teresa's everyday reality! It blows my mind. God please give me a spirit of selflessness and humility!

blahh

So life has pretty much been hard lately. Not so much physically but spiritually and emotionally. I'm also just very confused. If you would keep me in your prayersi would greatly appreciate it!

Wanted

The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for. We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love. There are many in the world dying for a piece of bread but there are many more dying for love. The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty--it is not only a poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There's a hunger for love, and there's a hunger for God.
~Mother Teresa

My prayer today is that every person will know that they are loved. I know so many times in my own life I feel in the way and that no one cares or has time for me. But there is one who longs for you! And who desires you presence so much. He sits everyday waiting for you to come and be with Him, expecting nothing. How beautiful is that.

Here is a beautiful prayer that I found in a book called "The God who won't let go"

I marvel at Your desire for my company. I stand in awe that Your love finds and chooses me, for I had given up all hope of ever being addressed so lovingly by anyone. And now, you choose me and tell me that I make a difference to you! Utterly amazed, I experience myself differently because of You choice. I learn to appreciate myslef in a new way. I see my worth and my contribution when I look at myself with Your eyes. How can I begin to thank you?

LOVE

I have found the paradox, that if you love unitl it hurts, than there can be no more hurt, only more love
~Mother Teresa

Love is the most powerful thing in heaven and on earth. Nothing can destroy love.
Love. We were created out of love and we are made to love.

I wish people understood this, that the only way you can ever make a difference is to love.
Facts, anger, and pressure never changed anyone. Show a person love, true, pure, unconditional love and you will surely change their heart. And that is the ultimate goal. That was why were made, to love…
Love is contagious. It spreads. So be love, give love, and remain in love.

"I have loved you with an everlasting love"

Where to begin

 Hmm, so I have a blog now. I'm not quite sure where to begin. Well I'm a thinker, I think about a lot of things, God, the world, the future. Hopefully this blog will allow me to get all these thoughts sorted haha!
