9 Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. 10 Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.-Romans 12:9-10

    In a earlier post I wrote about feeling like I don’t fit in anywhere, and the Lord has met me in my time of prayer and Bible Study. What He revealed to me is we are made for community and relationships. First with Him and than the family of God. Also I think we need to love everybody with the love of God, no matter who they are. Can you imagine what a family would look like if the members whould love with an genuine heart and outdo each other in showing honor?Or what a marriage would look like? friendships? The church would draw people to the cross and would mirror the God they worship. If people would apply these verses than this world would be a better place.

         As for me, with the help of the Lord I’m going to do my best to love this way. In regards to other people with disabilities I will never put them down but build them up. For we are always seen as outcasts and symbols of pity that as a man with an disability I never want to do that. I want to give disabled people hope that they can be whatever God wants them to be. I want all people to see nothing is impossible with God.

    To my brothers and sisters in Christ, even though I might feel like I don’t belong or I’m not always understood, I know in Christ I do belong, and I will do my best to show you love and build you up in your faith. To all the ones who have hurt me growing up in church since I was a kid, I forgive you cause Jesus forgave me.

   To my wife Robin, I promise to forsake all others and love you always. no other person will come between us. I pray I can be the man you deserve.

       To sum it up, all I want to do is love God and other people, even if that love is never returned by people. God bless and may you outdo someone in showing love and honor this week.
