If you want your life to count, there must be focus on love. You can't do everything but you must do the important things first and love is one of the important things to make to count. The Bible told us to love God and love our neighbours. If love isn't important, there won't be a lot of emphasis on it.
Most of the times, God is Not bothered about what you have achieved or what you are going through per say...but in your character. God wants build your character even with your achievements and the things you are going through. Once your attitude or character is wrong, everything you thing you have achieved won't truly stand the test of time nor the things you go through won't be able to build others up because character is missing.
The best use of your life is to love. You are made to love...God...your neighbours and of course, yourself. Love validates our faith and God is love. If you are indeed a child of God, you will want to be like God. Love proves we are His children as it reveals the identity of who we are. Whoever doesn't love doesn't know God because God is love.
Love also integrates our life together; every aspect of our lives. Love binds us together and it's necessary to make sure that the dominant force of our lives to be love as this is what helps us to overcome what life throws at us or the challenges that comes with life.
Love compensates when we err because the state of the heart would explain how we respond to situations when next that same situation present itself in similar fashion. Love echoes forever. Most of the time, you won't be remembered for what you have but for what you have given away. You can give without necessarily being in love with someone but you cannot claim to love people without giving. The state of your heart matters.
The best expression of love is time. You can't claim to love someone without creating time for them. Relationships are so important but we hardly give it time which is why we don't get the most out of them. Most of the times we love with words and not action and we expect people to be okay with it.
Most things that kill a relationship is wanting to do everything now. We always want to do everything now without actually building or waiting through process. Character and love is build during process. Live a life filled with love for others. It's hard to love others when you don't even love yourself...so when you love yourself, you understand what it means to love others because you wouldn't want to do against others what you wouldn't want to be done to you...you will want to love others the same way you want to be loved.
Now is the best time to love. Cultivate the habit of loving others genuinely and allowing your heart to feel regardless of past hurts. People will hurt you, disappoint you but that's on them and not on you. Keep looking for the channels where your love can flow. It's hard to love those who are not lovable but that's the true test of love...that's what love means...loving especially when it's not easy...that's the true definition of love. God loves us even at our worst state.
Thank you for your time.
