I am a freak of nature. I am always different from the norm. I constantly am changing and I never know where I am headed. I sometimes think I am going one direction, but My Friend always whispers invitations to live by the rules of love.
A love that Is. It Is because He Is. All I know today is He Is, and He Is with me. It’s in those times I hear Him, and I know my insanity and abnormality is by invitation only. Many are invited, but few RSVP. Few are chosen.
I may not be chosen to do big things in the eyes of others, but I am chosen to big things in His eyes. BIG things might seem different to those who look on the outside, but inside He sees the change in people, He hears my worries and cries, He feels the pain I feel for people. He is moved to bring a change. He is moved by love, and we are moved by Love, and it is in Love that the world is changed. Be in a love that IS; “I AM in love with you.” Know what it is to feel for someone. Know what it is to feel the pain. Know what is it to move the heart of the One that made your heart, lungs, nerves, and stomach.
I am not alone in my abnormality, there is someone else who is different from the norm, and I am thankful.

If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am NOTHING.
And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me Nothing.
Love is patient
Love is kind
And is not jealous
Love does not brag
And is not arrogant
Does not act unbecomingly
It does not seek its own
Is not provoked
Does not take into account a wrong suffered
Does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth
Bears ALL things, believes ALL things, hopes ALL things, endures ALL things.
1 Corinthians 13
