I Am That Difference...

The second is this: "Love your neighbour as yourself." There is no greater commandment than these ~ Mark 12:31

Time is a finite resource.
Running about our own business, we strive to utilize every passing moment.
Seemingly becoming ignorant to the needs around, numb to our surroundings.

As we go about hoping to achieve our goals in life and seemingly more 'important' needs, we forget to stop and give a helping hand.
We forget, to love those around us.
Losing precious time is deemed of higher priority compared to the people around us.
What's scarier, is that it has become second nature.

I realize how hard it is to find someone who genuinely cares for your well-being (excluding family).
Amazingly difficult to find someone who sincerely enjoys your company and who actually takes the time to listen to how your day went.
Scarcely to be found is someone who accepts and loves you the way you are regardless of how you look or who you are.

Have you ever wondered what life would be if Adam did not have his Eve?
A cause for loneliness and even God knew that though we were made to worship Him and the fact that only He alone can fill the constant void and longing, we all need love.
To be accepted, to be loved, to have someone come along side you and go the extra mile.

God can be all that, and more...
But I'm thankful He understands the human need for acceptance, and for recognition.
He gave us family, friends, and love.
I want to learn to care and love unconditionally, even if it's only me.
God, help me to draw love from You and to love the world around me.

I want to be that difference.
