Love Like there’s no Tomorrow
April 10, 2009“Live this day as if it will be your last. Remember that you will only find ‘’tomorrow'’ on the calendars of fools. Forget yesterday’s defeats and ignore the problems of tomorrow. This is it. Doomsday. All you have. Make it the best day of your year. The saddest words you can ever utter are, ‘’If I had my life to live over again. ‘’Take the baton, now. Run with it! This is your day! Beginning today, treat everyone you meet, friend or foe, loved one or stranger, as if they were going to be dead at midnight. Extend to each person, no matter how trivial the contact, all the care and kindness and understanding and love that you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.”

The Beauty of Grace
Psalm 10: 14
But You, O God, do see trouble and grief; you consider it to take it in hand. The victim commits himself to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.
Psalm 10:16-18
The LORD is king forever and ever; the nations will perish from the land. You hear, O LORD, the desire of the afflicted; You encourage them, and You listen to their city, defending the fatherless and the oppressed, in order that man, who is of the earth, may terrify no more.
I have been holding on to someone I know I should not. It is crazy when I think about it. I cannot let him go, but I have to. My heart says I should let him stay…but my mind is not messed up like my heart. I am not stupid and yes, I know better and I am going to do what is right.
Proverbs 10:2
Ill-gotten treasures are of no value, but righteousness delivers from death.
If you are holding on to someone that does not belong to you and is never intended for your life, then, you need to let it go. If you are holding on to the past hurts and pains, let it go…it’s not yours. If you are involved in a wrong relationship or an addiction, let it go. If you keep trying to help someone who does not even try helping himself, let it go. Let the past be the past. Each day has new things. Get it right or get it wrong. Think about it and let it go.
