Love God. Love People.

Love God; love people = my mission, but sometimes, the second part seems so difficult, especially when some of the people He sends my way seem to work so hard at being completely unlovable. Then just when I'm about to throw up my hands and walk away, He allows me to see just enough beauty in the midst of ugliness to give me hope and help me persevere. I saw beauty today, and it stirred my spirit and flooded my heart with inspiration. Looking beyond the prickly thorns and patches of briars, pushing past the high, thick brush, and searching it out, I found it. It was there all along, hidden, like it wanted to be found. Now I have to wonder how much more beauty is hiding, waiting to be discovered and what would have happened if I had walked away before I found it. This is why I exist. Love God; love people.
