One of the best pieces of advice I ever received was from a Pastor. His name is Carl Lentz. I've never actually met him or anything, but his sermons are filled with so much wisdom. This piece of advice from him to his church was one that stuck.
"The biggest indicator of how much influence Jesus has in your life is how well you love people."
I have a passion for people. I appreciate people in my life and what they've done. I appreciate Jesus, too. There's so much that I learned from this. Because in order to love people, we have to know who IS love. Jesus IS love. Jesus also brings the most joy to life. And the reason it's so easy to love people is because Jesus loves everyone. And as Christians, we are called to love, and more importantly, to love like Jesus. And to love like Jesus is to love every single person despite their imperfections, their beliefs, or their actions.
The only way we can love unconditionally, without restraints, is if we know Jesus. So, we just gotta keep loving everyone and living life to the fullest. The best life is one filled with love and Jesus.
