live to love. love to live


Now living in a completely new environment, its encouraging to be surrounded by people who love Jesus and love others. The YWAM base is consistent in what it does, but people come and go so often that it becomes difficult to establish roots with people.

God is teaching me how to give more of myself to Him. To begin to slow down and look around at the people i see everyday. To slow down and see people as people. To slow down and love others. To slow down and love how God has created me and what i have to offer those around me.

Perfect love drives out fear. The way to put off fear then, is to put on love... love is self-giving. Fear is self-protecting. Love moves towards others, fear shrinks away from them. The more fear, the less love, the more love, the less fear.

Profound!
