February

A month that is commercialized to be the month of love. Valentines alone takes up several shelves for about a month leading up to February 14th. I have friends who are single, some married and some divorced. I want to encourage you to make this entire month about loving ALL people. Love your spouse, your friends, the people you work with, your church family or the random lady behind you in the line at the grocery store.  Jesus is our ultimate picture of love and throughout the Bible we get glimpses of what it means to love without strings attached. Today will you love without expectation so that those receiving your love will get an even clearer picture of the love of Christ.

I hope this beautiful picture Ariel has created for you reminds you to Love God with all you have, to love His people but also love yourself through rest, self-care and by soaking up the beauty of Gods truths with a no strings attached kind of love.  There is nothing you have to do to receive it except simply embrace it with your arms wide open and your heart positioned for something so much greater than you could ever imagine.
