"The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love and to be loved in return."
Every human just wants to feel love. Every human just wants to be noticed for who they are. Every human just wants to feel needed and valued. This is what everything boils down to, isn't it?
As a missionary, this is what I view as my biggest role. The greatest thing I will ever do out there is just to LOVE. That is all God is about right? God loves us so much that he gave us His only begotten son. Christ loves us so much that he made it possible for us to obtain true everlasting happiness. No one is insignificant in the sight of God. Christ spent his time among the sinners and the social outcasts, not the so called "righteous" of society or the great and mighty. Then why do we put such a value on this? Why are we so quick to judge and speak ill of others? Why can't we be the one to just love others? Love bring actual value into life. We define ourselves by the things we love right?
The challenge I have given myself is to forget about myself and just love. As I will do that, my needs are taken care of. Kind of weird isn't it? We our promised that our needs are taken care of when we forget about them and take others burdens and make them light. That logically makes no sense at all. But it is true. I know it without a doubt.
Simplicity is so beautiful. Just love.

Its been awhile
So many things to say. Is it worth it? I've always been one to keep my closest parts of me and my deepest feelings locked inside. It is an effective method. Its also lonely. Its times like this that the loneliness builds inside. Its not unusual. Put on some headphones, sit back, and dream. Let the music take you away.
Not many people know this about me. I am seriously thinking about joining the army. I have been for quite sometime now. I have the utmost and deepest respect for soldiers. It is one of the most selfless things to do. Even if I don't join the Armed Forces, I want to be a soldier. I want to live my life to enrich others lives, no matter where I am at in life. I want to fight through life so I can truly lay down my life with no regrets and greet my God with tears of gladness rather than tears of fear or regret.
"Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart. Trouble no one about their religion;respect others in their view, and demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life, beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and its purpose in the service of your people. Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.
Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and grovel to none.
When you arise in the morning give thanks for the food and for the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks, the fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and no thing, for abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home."
This is my favorite poem, piece of literature, or whatever you want to call it. I hope you gain as much out of it as I do.
