Better late than never...
The biggest lesson I learned from the “The Love Challenge” was…
drum roll please...
I am so totally and completely selfish!
I learned that it is much easier for me to extend grace, show mercy and have patience with total strangers than with the people I love the most in this world. I also learned that in terms of the way I give my love, I have serious expectations; spiritual, emotional and physical. "It’s all about me" can quickly and so easily become my mantra if I’m not careful and always aware!
I am reminded that apart from Jesus it is impossible for me to love the way Jesus loves. But there is really good news, with Him I can do all things and nothing is impossible for Him! (Phil. 4:13 & Mark 9:23) So like I stated in previous posts, “The Love Challenge” is going to be a regular part of my life from now on. I need that reminder often of how I am to love others and of what LOVE truly is because sadly I apparently forget a lot!
As always, I would love to hear your comments good or bad!
Joyfully, Ashley
