L.O.V.E.

What does that word mean to you?

It’s a feeling, to be sure. But, it’s so much more!

Here’s what I feel LOVE stands for:

L- Language

O-Opportunity

V- Vision

E-Excellence

Language– speak words of comfort, exhortation, and encouragement

Opportunity– look for times to express loving thoughts, and to build others up

Vision– see more than the here and now, look towards the future

Excellence– seek to give only your best, your most excellent to others

Everyone, everywhere, needs a smile and an encouragement. Give them that. In so doing, you not only bless them, you bless your own life. It’s hard to hold a grudge when you are praying for that person. It’s hard not to feel encouraged when you share encouragement with others. It’s a wonderful thing to share your smile with another.

The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed;   those who help others are helped. 
Proverbs 11:25, The Message Bible

Be that blessing!
