I am here to get this right then I get to go home. A long time ago I thought that love was something that you reserved for some special set of people that you had judged worthy of it.
After a while I got to thinking about what Jesus had said about turning the other cheek and loving our neighbor I put the two together and realized that he had made no exceptions in these statements. It became obvious to me that he intended that we exclude no one from the love that we are supposed to be giving. I started thinking about my idea of love and suddenly realized that I had not been loving anyone at all. I had simply been judging everyone and every thing.
Judging someone worthy of love is not love, it is only judgment. I actually started to cry when I realized this. I saw just how much of my life I had wasted being judgmental, thinking of myself as a Christian, when I was actually doing just the opposite of what Jesus had asked us to do.
I thought about the verse judge not lest ye be judged, and I understood it for the first time.
I realized that I have a lot of catching up to do. So many opportunities were wasted. I now try to apply the love that I have for the world in a universal way like Jesus asks us to do.
If I start to feel afraid and think that I see someone that I should not love because of something I have thought or heard I try to catch my mistake as soon as possible. I tell myself that I have forgot the truth and have fallen for the same old trick that had cost me so many opportunities to be loving in the past. The horror of this realization is often all that is necessary to bring me back to my senses and make me drop the judgmental nonsense I was thinking.
I still have a lot to learn about love, but at least I’m making progress.
Love and blessings

Just getting through a day, waiting for it to get better....
But now I think it won't get better...
But the most important thing I live for is to find a reason to bother surviving at this point,
To have something to fall back on, and have a reason to give my heart and soul into everything I do.

The most important thing in my life is to live it. I want to live my life every moment. It's God's will that I live it.. otherwise for what else could He have given it If I can live my life completely, without asking for more, then God's will is fulfilled. That's what Jesus means when he says: "Thy will be done, thy kingdom come."
Life itself is important to me. I believe in everything that life has given me. Even if my belief doesn't come true sometimes, then too I go on believing. The result is not important. The very fact that I can believe life in all its different colours is important to me.
I never allow anybody to sabotage my trust for life. I believe in a person even though he deceives me. He takes my money or in some other way deceives me, yet I trust him. He could deceive me only because of my belief. When one is deceived, one starts feeling that belief is not right, that trust is not good; that it is because of trust that you have been deceived. People think then that if they had doubted from the very beginning, nobody would have been able to deceive them. Then they stop trusting, but they are losing something very valuable.
You can be deceived; that's nothing important. Somebody takes your money; money comes and goes. Somebody never fulfills his promise. That too has to be forgiven because man is helpless. Because of these things I don't drop my trust.
Whatsoever happens in life, I go on trusting. Even when every situation is against it, I go on trusting. My trust for life gives me an integration. I become more solid.
After all, all that is given to me in life is God's gift, Since life was given by God, so whatever He provides me in life is important to me. Nothing in life is unimportant to me, as life itself is important to me.

family, their safety and happiness means more than life it self to me. Even if they don't see things the same way.

Myself, because if I were not here, life would not exist for me.
