How can someone really define their individuality on a page like this when we are all as multifaceted as a diamond?
There is way too much violence and hate in this world ~
~ and what it needs is for true followers of Christ to have His love in their hearts to share with others.

"A Candle's but a simple thing, it starts with just a bit of string. Yet dipped and dipped with patient hand, it gathers wax upon the strand ~ until, complete and snowy white, it gives at last a lovely light. Life is so like that bit of string, ~ each deed we do a simple thing, ~ yet day by day if on life's strand ~ we work with patient heart and hand ~ it gathers joy, makes dark days bright, ~ and gives at last a lovely light." (by: Clara B. Thurston)

We can't give what we don't have, so we must receive God's love for us in Jesus Christ in order to have it to share with others.
Only then will we truly be "lights" in this darkened world; and I believe that even one life can make a difference. This is what my heart longs for.Although my light may be small ~ "I'm gonna let it shine!"
"There are those who believe, so the story is told ~ That at birth you receive your own Angel to hold. You come into this world on a wing and a prayer ~ And throughout your lifetime, she'll always be there.
A Guardian Angel who will guide what you do ~ Her pure essence of love sent to watch over you." ~ (Author Unknown to me)
"For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. They shall lift you up in their hands,..." (Psalm 91:11-12)
"See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of My Father in heaven." (Matt. 18:10)
"Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?" (Hebrews 1:14)
"Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it." (Hebrews 13:2)
{Even angels long to look into these things ~ 1 Peter 1:12}
I am learning that sometimes we must release our grasp on people and things in order to be open to receive and grow beyond our present circumstances.
It is true in my case (and may be in your own as well), that "all the significant battles are waged within the self."
I believe that, "Well done, is better than well said." In other words my actions always speak much louder than my words, so I try my best to make sure I do everything in love.
Yet who is always perfect and never fails in this? Alas, to err is human and to forgive, Divine.... Thankfully there is such a thing as compassion!
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!" (2 Cor. 5:17, NIV)
(See: John 13:1-17)~ I believe in living the words and following the example of our Great Shepherd and Savior Jesus Christ who said that mercy triumphs over judgment ~
~ and that we are to love our neighbor as ourselves.
~ He came to seek and to save that which was lost ...(and that was definitely me among the many).
He also said, "Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you ~ and judge not, unless you also want to be judged as well ~
