L.O.V.E.

True love only comes from the Father. We can only experience this deep and intimate love if we are willing to put our selfish pride aside and surrender all of our hearts to the one who created us. And let me remind you, you are unique and beautiful. God created you the way you are for a purpose. You are beautiful despite what anyone else may think. I use to think I was ugly and fat and unwanted. But you know, those are all lies from the devil. I am beautiful just the way I am. God created me for a special purpose and if others look at me and judge me by my looks, then they are missing out on something pretty amazing.

So please remember, you are beautiful and created for a purpose. Seek out God and His will for your life. You will notice a change in your daily life if you do. The blessings will come pouring into your life. Don't let others decide your future for you. God has a plan and it is much better :)

I wanna leave you with a passage that reminds us what love means:

If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don't love, I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. If I speak God's Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, "Jump," and it jumps, but I don't love, I'm nothing. If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love. Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn't want what it doesn't have. Love doesn't strut, Doesn't have a swelled head, Doesn't force itself on others, Isn't always "me first," Doesn't fly off the handle, Doesn't keep score of the sins of others, Doesn't revel when others grovel, Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, Puts up with anything, Trusts God always, Always looks for the best, Never looks back, But keeps going to the end. Love never dies. Inspired speech will be over some day; praying in tongues will end; understanding will reach its limit. We know only a portion of the truth, and what we say about God is always incomplete. But when the Complete arrives, our incompletes will be canceled. But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love. (1 Corinthians 13:1-10, 13 MSG)
