God bless!

                As a pastor I am asked questions constantly about my style of living and what things I have to do because I'm a "Pastor", I chuckle at this because we are all in the same boat! Many people get hung up on titles and therefore feel that they can have a lower standard of responsibility than those with "titles", I have bad news for some of us today: we are all liable to do the same thing. Of course there is a greater level of responsibility (that goes without saying) but at the end of the day the verses below really encapsulate the point of being a Christian. We have to LOVE. As I express openly from my part this is quite hard at times, especially in the moments when the love tank is running on empty.

As many are familiar with the five love languages, I will share that the same way we have love languages with people we also have it with God. The major difference is that He speaks all of our Love languages yet we at times seem to fail to speak His. What is His? QUALITY TIME. No doubt about it, don't try to analyze it too deeply because all HE wants from us is our time, priority and a sense of importance. I know many of us don't want to hear this but it's my job to speak in truth. At times I want this to be easy but I realize I wasn't called by God to be "Loved" by everyone and I know this because neither was His Son. Today I share with you that if we really want things to change in our life then we need to begin to spend time with Him. Love Him above all things and think of Him before all things. This is the greatest commandment. Are you up for it?

Mark 12:29-31 ""The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: ?Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' 31 The second is this: ?Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."
