Love Your Neighbor

"You aren't going to attend college next year, you must be going mad!" I can only begin to imagine all the comments from family and friends. The idea of doing mission work has always been floating around in my head but lately the thought has been heavy on my heart.

This is what I know:

• I love God.
• God wants me to love His people.

The thought of orphaned children sitting alone, hurting and not being loved makes my heart ache. I don't know what God has planned for my life but I'm so very excited to find out His amazing plans. Every day I'm falling deeper and deeper in love with my father, my friend, and my Savior. Calling myself lucky is beyond and understatement. I'm just so joyful. And to keep that joy I am so blessed to know locked up inside of me and not be able to share it with God's little children seems ridiculous to me. God calls me to go love His people. I love my Daddy. I want to obey my Daddy. And therefore I will go. Maybe I'm called to Cleveland, maybe I'm called to Africa. But where He goes I will go.

"Jesus answered, The first and principal one of all commands is: Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is one Lord; And you shall love the Lord your God out of and with your whole heart and out of and with all your soul and out of and with all your mind and out of and with all your strength. This is the first and principal commandment. The second is like it and is this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these." Mark 12:29-31
