Free Love

Do you remember the first time you fell in love? How did it feel?

Your heart racing, a lump in your throat, that jumping in your stomach. A feeling of love that fills you every time you are near. Your emotions swelling with every minute you spend together.

We learn about love early in life from our parents. This visual illustration of love is what we build from. The better the foundation, the stronger the final structure.

In America, we are forgetting how to love. It is not about Valentines and chocolate it is about Agape- unconditional love. Many children are growing up in homes today that are missing an image of that love. Thus a foundation on sand is being built in the hearts of millions of children. And when they grow older, they don't know how to love. Other people, a mate, themselves and most of all God. We are to love God with all our heart, mind, and strength and Love our neighbor as ourself. How do they do that when they have not been taught.

That is where we come in. We need to show the Agape love that is truly selfless and unconditional. We need to be that example to the world.

Humm...Love God...Love People...Change the World! Where have I heard that before?

Now, back to my original question. Do you remember the first time you fell in love... with God?
