I heard that on the most random show ever.. "let love lead.." but it hit me as so profound. Aren't we better off in almost every situation when we let love lead?
I am better to my husband and children when my actions and reactions are based on my love for them. When I can take time to reflect on my true feelings, and not my temporary ones (anger, disappointment, etc).. I can then handle situations with a greater grace based on a greater love.
I am kinder to others when I let love lead. I am not as tempted to judge, but rather to understand. I am not as tempted to tear down, but rather encourage. I tell Tim all the time what a happier world it would be if we decided in our homes, and our churches, and our jobs to just take time to consider one another's position and rather than feel hurt or negative feelings based on others behaviors.. we could just love them. Not always agree with them. Not always support their decisions. But love them. I guess it goes back to the idea of walking a mile in another person's shoes.
I want my life to demonstrate letting love lead. I want to make a real effort to love other people. Not just people like me. Not just people I understand. Not just people who I am comfortable with. I want to let love lead with everyone. I want love to lead me out of my comfortable areas and into areas where my love is needed.
I hope you too will decide to let love lead :)
1 little notes:
It's sometimes when we are least expecting it that we get a lesson slapped in the face. Very sweet and wonderful thought!
