Love & Kindness....

I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've heard the phrase..."Joy, your just too nice...you care too much about others & let them take advantage of that." I mean, I heard it the other day. So my question to you is do you think there is such a thing as being too nice? Do you believe there is such a thing? After all, as Christians we are called to love others with a Christlike love.

I want to show people love no matter what the cost. I want to change their lives because of it. I want people to see love & acceptance who have never seen it before. If that is how my sweet Jesus chooses to use me then so be it. Even if it means getting nothing in return. I'm learning it's not about me. It's about others & getting to be the hands and feet of Jesus to them by showing them His love & kindness.

Mark 12:30-31

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these."

Have Your Way...

"May the God of hope fill you with all joy & peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."

Romans 15:13

Feels like I've been here forever,
Why can`t you just intervene?
Do you see the tears keep falling?
And I'm falling apart at the seams.
But you never said the road would be easy,
But you said that you would never leave.
And you never promised that this life wasn`t hard,
But you promised you`d take care of me.

So I`ll stop searching for the answers,
I`ll stop praying for an escape,
And I`ll trust you,God, with where i am,
And believe that you will have your way.
Just have your way.
Just have your way.

When my friends and my family have left me,
And I feel so ashamed and so cold.
Remind me that you take broken things
And turn them into beautiful.

So I`ll stop searching for the answers,
I`ll stop praying for an escape,
And I`ll trust you, God, with where i am,
And believe that you`ll have your way.
Just have your way.
Just have your way.

Even if my dreams have died,
And even if i don`t survive,
I`ll still worship you with all my life.
My life.

And I`ll stop searching for the answers,
I`ll stop praying for an escape,
And I`ll trust you, God, with where i am,
And believe that you will have your way.
Just have your way.
Just have your way.
