To write love on her arms...

So i read this today and i was simply awe-stricken! Okay for those who dont know this is an organization that takes in people struggling with depression, addiction, self injury, and suicide. They take them in for 5 days and basically share Christ's love to them. Show them love, hope, mercy and forgivness. They encourage and inspire them not oly to get help physically but emotionally as well. This is the website "TWLOHA.com" but go here to read the story behind the organization, if it doesn't bring you tears it surely raises goosebumps! I read it and i was teared up...its so sad but simply asmazing as well. http://www.twloha.com/page.php?id=6
After reading this i started thinking about change, and what a simple act can do to save someone and show them God. A lot of teens who are involved in any of these things are usually lost, they are confused or have never been shown love. it breaks my heart to hear these things or see it. I realized the lover i am, that i need to spread it more so around. Kids need to see that they are loved and someone greater than us loves them too. I was thinking of simple acts of kindness such as compliments, or picking books up for someone who dropped one. Even paying for someone's lunch anonymously, here's a challenge: Next time your in a restaraunt pick someone out and pay for their lunch, well if you have the money to do so, don't tell them and tell the waitress to keep it on the DL. One time my parents did this, God totally laid it on their hearts to do it and they did. To see the look on the old couple's face again, would bring so much joy, the lady even teared up. Maybe that's TOO big of an act, but even the smallest count. Get involved, give if you have the chance to. Get with an organization make one up! Anything to get involved with spreading God's love. Next time your out tell someone you love them, or better yet "Actions speak louder than words." Dont just talk about it, do it! If we were to spread just an ounce of love toward another it would be liek a chain reaction, wild fire! How would you feel if someone did a random act of kindess? You would be over filled with joy! Just do it! That's my challenge.
As you wish
