In conclusion...

So two verses, of many, that might help sum up how we should be living daily and spending our TIME:

Ephesians 5:1-2
Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God

Matthew 28:19-20a
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.


There are some good things in there.  First, go see how Jesus thought of children and the things he said about them.  Also, we are to love as Christ loved.  That is tough for me sometimes, as I am sure it is you, but it doesn't change that we are still called to do it. 

So I imagine anything that gets in the way of living a life of love is not in the will God has for us.  What do you think?  What do these verses mean to you?  What gets in the way of this for you?  Is this easy or hard?  What other verses come to mind that you go to when it comes to spending our time?

I hope this finds you doing well today.  I know we all daily face challenges and struggles, and I know my life is so much more peaceful when I stop immediately and give them to the Lord.  I hope we can all remember and trust to do that even more as we go forward in our lives.  God wants our burdens, and will never put more on us than we can handle.  Remember that.  That's powerful in providing strength to endure each day---knowing He is there and I am not alone!!

God is good!
