Up Close and Personal

I am reminded that although we may have a willingness to show our kindness to those in need............

 And that maybe we are the ones to show them love up close and personal........

 The one who is in need just may lash out and cause hurt and frustration.........

Sometimes it's better to show love and kindness from a distance. Let them know you still care. Let them know you are strong enough to walk away from the hurt but, not too strong to where you'll walk away for good. Strong enough to not be pushed around........It's that tough love that always proves faithful.

I am reminded that not every one knows how to handle love and kindness. Maybe due to the fact that someone walked away for good, never to come back. And although the pain is raw and the wounds are deep you must prove to be strong and faithful. Never wavering but always forgiving.

If you know TRUTH. If you Know the Son, He is your heart and He loves you up close and personal.......

He shows His love from a distance to the ones who lash out in pain and frustration. He is strong enough to turn away from the mudslinging and the angry hearts but, never too strong that He walks away from hope. He is HOPE. He has proven to be strong and faithful. Never wavering but always forgiving.........

Learning to love like the Son is not always easy. And sometimes you just have to walk away and give it to God.....As hard as it may be.......but your not walking away for good, your handing the lost over in prayer. And as you cradle them in words of love and hope, those words form a ladder right up to heaven.

The climb may not be easy for that lost soul....some may never take the first step but, you can bet the ones that do, they are being guided on every rung and every step of the way.

This is close to my heart. For I know so many who are very dear to me that refuse to hear the truth. Their hearts are hard and they refuse to see the way. He tells me not to give up, to love from a distance in prayer.............May my words form a ladder straight up to heaven. May they cradle the lost and soften their hearts. And as His love proves to be faithful, I too, will be faithful in forever prayer...........
