Show love, be love.

When a thought is taking over my brain, my Facebook statuses have a tendency to turn into novels and Twitter's 140 character max always goes into the un-tweetable negatives - causing me to abbeviate so much that it hardly makes sense, or having to use #LT 50 times over to get my full thought out. So here I am... creating a blog.

Welcome to my very first one!

When blogging first came around I thought it was stupid. Who wants to read a diary? That's kind of how I looked at it. But then I started reading some, and found them to be super inspirational (depending on who's blog you read, haha). 

I don't consider myself to live an extremely exciting, adventurous life... But I have made it my mission to show love and be love to anyone around me every chance I can. In a world that seriously lacks that very thing, in my opinion, that could make the biggest change... It has had some pretty cool outcomes. 

A few months ago I heard something in a sermon that has forever changed my way of thinking when it comes to loving the person in front of me. It was an equation, using Vertical Church as the example, and this is how it went: we reach 10,000 people a month that never new God before, they give their hearts to Christ and never leave the faith. If no one else was ever born in the world and we were reaching 10,000 people a month it would take roughly 58,600 years to change the world for Christ. BUT if just 1 person caught a fire to reach someone in 1 year, taking 6 months to build a strong relationship with them. They start coming to church and building a relationship with God, and the next 6 months you disciple them to go out with you the next year... and that year each of you reach one person, and then the next year you have 4 people each reaching 1 person and so on... It would take only 40 years to reach the entire world. 

58,600 vs 40.

In one lifetime you could see the entire world changed just by one person making such a lasting impact on one person that it creates a chain reaction. 

Every one is so quick to talk about how awful the world is now a days, but  Imagine the impact we could have if just 1 person showed 1 person genuine love and kindness in such a way that It sparks a chain reaction... 

Show love, be love. You never know who needs it, and your love could change their life... Or be the spark that initiates a changed world. 

Some people may think my blog posts are boring, others may find them stupid... and maybe, just maybe they might inspire someone to make a change. 

If 500 people read my blog, 499 people thought it was dumb and 1 person was inspired to make a change... It's 100% worth it. 

Be the change you want to see in the world. Start with loving the person In front of you.
