I've been playing around with this thought in my head. A concept or maybe a lifestyle change...not really sure. Whatever it is, it is forming itself to be the platform of my life. What I want to focus on and how I want to encourage others to live.

I have spent the better part of my life too afraid to look at who I really am. Second guessing how I spoke, what I said, what I wore, and how other's accepted me. Somewhere along the road, God grabbed me and said if you are really going to live for me and with me then you have to understand who I say that you are. You have to live in that and be comfortable. It wasn't until I stopped looking at who I wanted to be and what I wanted to accomplish that I realized it's always all about me.

This is where this change has come. What if we all took a day to look at the person next to us. What if we were to spend our time looking for the absolute best in each other instead of letting the lies that tear us apart hinder us from pulling each other forward? How much time do I spend sitting inside my head thinking about how I can make my life perfect or better?

I've decided to live a life dedicated to others. To make sure that I am always looking for the best in each person. Really what's the point at looking at anything else, it isolates us, hurts us, and binds us in a lie that we have no hope.

If I love others beyond myself and I see only the good then I am free to live my life powerfully unapologetic loving others and encouraging them to love the person next to them. I fully believe that as I love others scales of brokenness and distrust will fall off of people's eyes and they will start to love the person next to them. I truly believe that Love Covers a Multitude of Sins and when we choose to see the best, the love that is produced through that choice covers the ugly and causes others to not see their ugly but to see their light and to pass it on.
