One of the biggest things that I have learned over the years is that I have a 💗 heart that loves deep.    I do believe that there are many different levels of love, and in life, we all experience love in so many different ways.

The deepest level of love can be the BEST, but it can also bring pain.  God's love for his children is so very deep.  Deep enough for HIM to send HIS only begotten son, to live on earth, to die on a cross, in order for us to have Eternal Life.    HE also loves us so very much that it sadly brings pain when we choose sinful living over giving our Best to Him.

Have you ever loved that deep?  Deep enough for you to feel pain?


For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.
John 3:16

                                                 ~~~~~~






This is what I do when I am in the middle of a storm....I learn to adjust my sails and move forward.   I can assure you that God is there helping me adjust my sails each and every time that they need adjusting.  

 What can we do when we see people in the midst of storms..... ?What can we do when we see people hurting.....?   

We lean in and stand in the gap, and we Pray... for those that are facing all kinds of trials or sickness.   I have so many friends right now, who are going through some very difficult times.  It hurts to see them struggling and in pain.   

Colossians 3:12 reads....

Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourself with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 

I believe that God gave me an extra portion of compassion!

I want everyone to be Happy!  I don't want anyone to have any worries....and I am very saddened when people are sick.  I'm sure that I am no different from many of you.....I see much kindness and love in each of your post.

You know what I love about having my blog and being able to post 'everyday' if I so choose???   

When I am overwhelmed with joy....I love to write about it
When I am stressed or feeling a little down...I can write my feelings in my post, and it's as if, almost instantly, I feel better!

I am free to share prayer needs and I can pray for the needs that my blogging friends have.   

I am truthfully very THANKFUL for the love that God has placed in my heart for others....

My heart is loaded with compassion for those I love, as well as for people everywhere.........and I know that God placed it there for a reason....I consider this a gift and I want to use this gift to the best of my ability....to bring glory to God.   

Hugs to you all...

  6. Hi Shug!

    Beautiful post!! There is nothing more special than to know that you are loved and cared for, and you do that well! I do believe that we have all been given gifts by a kind Heavenly Father, and one of your is truly the gift of love and compassion. And, it's true, one of our greatest gifts was the gift of His Son...the most amazing gift!!

    Thank you for making my day!!
