The number one lesson in life, the number one reason God put you on this earth, is to learn how to love. God is love and he wants you to be like him.
It's easy to love people you like, the people you find easy to get along with. So if God's going to teach you real love, realize that he's going to put you around unlovely people.
"Everything you do must be done with love" - This means at the office, in the car, on a sales trip, whatever. The good news is this really is not hard. It's easy to underestimate the power of a kind word, a friendly smile, a pat on the back, a genuine compliment, a word of encouragement, and a listening ear.
I have seen so many lives changed when somebody takes time to pay attention to them. There is not a person on this planet who isn't starving for attention. But a caring person is hard to find.
The Apostle Paul said this, "I have no one else like Timothy, who genuinely cares about your welfare." (Philippians 2:20 NLT) Does that sound like your workplace? Everyone looking out for his own interests, not those of Jesus Christ? Those who really care are really aware.

time out
#nowplaying You hold my world in Your hands - Israel Houghton
Have been laying on my bed for about an hour, was planning to sleep earlier due to lack of sleep last nite, but this mind kept on wandering. And somehow it brought me to hv a time out with God and myself personally. Lately I was too busy with my own mind/self and forgot to have a real time with myself n God. I feel I was walking by my own. I prayed, but it all just seem like a routinity, and I end up feels empty. But now I feel much better, it feels like a glass being filled with lots of water, I feel refreshed and the emptiness are gone :) grateful :)
Today I kept being reminded of one of my favorite quote from an ad:
I want to live my life to the absolute fullest. To open my eyes to be all I can be. To travel roads not taken, to meet faces unknown. To feel the wind, to touch the stars. I promise to discover myself. To stand tall with greatness. To chase down and catch every dream.
~living a full life on the outside, starts on the inside~
And that's what I'm learning now. To keep my 'inside' full, so I can live to the fullest. And I learned that it can only be filled by God. I need to do that regularly. Learn not to seek anything/anyone to fill that need, but to seek only God to make it full.
Thanks God for the lesson :)
Now my eyes are so ready to go to sleep :p
Nitey! :)
