I Swear, I'm Losing It.

I Swear, I think I'm going crazy. I haven't been very busy lately, but it seems as if every little thing just stresses me out.

Anyways, so I'd just like to throw a little something in here about love.
So I've been reading this book (Will Jesus buy me a double wide?) lately. The chapter I just read said something along the lines of:
"Go love somebody who can't love you back. Love somebody who can't do anything for you. Get off your butt and love somebody who you can't benefit from in anyway. They are never going to invite you to eat at their house. That's the gospel. Not God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life which includes a Mercedes Benz, a corner office, and a secretary with fake boobs."
Now, I've been trying really hard lately to do this. To love everybody. But sense I've been in this strange mood, it's not working so well. Now I'm not talking about the fake "I love you!" we say to all of our friends. I'm talking about the love talked about in John 13:34.
"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."
We are to love extravagantly and to hold nothing back. Just for a minute, sit here and honestly think about how much God loved you. He expects nothing in return, he just did it for you. Now, think about how you love others. Are the two anywhere close to congruency? I know this is a personal struggle of mine. But I'm working on it. So let us be brothers and sisters in prayer. I pray that everyone of you loves as unconditionally as Jesus did.
And hopefully my bad mood will go away soon! Haha.
