The Art of Acceptance and Living Love.

Last night I had an interesting conversation with God.  Most of the time our conversations are about how I can give and receive love better than I do.  Last night though, it focused on acceptance and being able to love people through accepting them.  Somehow out of all of this I came up with this:

What if people actually lived like God was standing right next to them 24/7?
How extremely different would things be for everyone?
How would I be different?
The results would be outrageous. 

People would judge less, give more, forgive easily, and notice the good surrounding them.
Life would be good.

I have the following written on the inside cover of my Bible:

"God's love for you is Outrageous, Unfailing, and Extravagant."
"Make you love for God Outrageous, Unfailing, and Extravagant."
"Make your love for others Outrageous, Unfailing, and Extravagant." 

That's my day to day goal.  To accept others.  To love others.  To Love God and Love People.
Life's really that simple, if only we could remember that.
