Love

After a rough Thursday I was blessed with a beautiful Friday and weekend. The sermon at church was just what I needed even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear. It actually helped me understand a bit of my conflict with my dad...well I know what my conflict is, but this helped me understand why I keep letting my guard down. In a nutshell. Scott talked about love, and how when the Lord is in your heart you should feel love. We should love our neighbors, strangers, our friends, our enemies (that's the tricky one). However after hearing that again and again I realized that I am overflowing with love...not all the time, but a lot of the time. That's why I have such a hard time turning my back on the situation. God's love is flowing through me...imagine that! I guess that is where the persistance comes from in this situation, I don't want to see my dad go down the wrong path for the rest of his life. I want him to know THIS love is better.

Until then, I will keep praying and keep letting God's love flow through me. Even when I feel like resisting...
