Lately my heart has been very happy.
Lately I have found affirmation in our silences and in our words.
Lately I have realized I don't miss paper books as much as I thought I would.
Lately my words have been in brush strokes.
Lately I have found joy in thankfulness.
Lately I have been learning what it means to choose love always.
{That Colossians 3:12-17 type of love}
"12 Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. 13 Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. 14 Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful. 16 Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts. 17 And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father."
Just the other day, I got a glimpse of how love covers a multitude of sins. It's amazing how that realization just hit me -- a gift that can come only from Him. Your last "lately" reminded me of this.
