Called To Love

“Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.” ...

I believe that Gods word is woven throughout the fabric of what we see, do, and say, yet the comfortableness of it has left those words meaningless to us.

You can determine whether it's the sky or if its the grass. From that 1 piece you can build an entire picture. Our lives are like puzzle pieces. It is up to us to recognize the fact that we are a very special piece in the fabric of our families and  in our communities. When we are where we're called to be and doing the things we're called to do, others can find where they fit in the big picture. So as you go throughout your day today recognize what purpose God has for you and where your piece is supposed to be placed. When you do, this will open up your eyes and allow you tosee God's purpose and plan for you. God-bless G.
