love.

i've had a beautiful past couple of weeks learning, discovering, realising how powerful love is.

to love someone is so simple, it doesn't require knowledge, experience or qualifications. to love you don't need to be skilled at something, or know exactly what you need to do. love simply requires somebody who is willing to kneel before an almighty God and say, let me see the world how you see it.

God is love. 

to show people who he is, we don't always need an awesome message up our sleeve or a long story about how we met him. we don't need to be a great communicator, or an anointed preacher, all we have to do is love them. that's all it takes to turn their life around.

it's easy to complicate the gospel, to get into the politics of church and to get so caught up in the details of what we think God wants us to do. when we just need to grasp the fact that we're here to love his children.

we can so often look at the world, at a school, at a person and see how much is wrong, and simply give up cause it seems too hard to try and help. but really, it's so simple... love like he loves and you can change the world.
