what Love...

mali...


what love. what beauty you are. yet, there's one beautiful Love that'll make you want to jump for joy when you find it. i can't wait to tell you, to let you taste and see just as i have. you'll never be the same once you hear about it, once you ask Him to come into your heart. you'll wanna live because of it. you'll wanna dance. you'll wanna let the others know that they too can have this joy. that joy you wont' be able to contain.
you, the 5th poorest nation on Earth, you'll have it all.
you already have a few million miles on most of us. you don't put your happiness in superficial things. money isn't your god. you've got nothing great according to the world, yet you know you don't need that other stuff. the cars. the houses. the things people live their whole lives to obtain and then find out it didn't make them happy. they still missed something.
so you, Mali, will have it all when you have Him.

16Now a man came up to Jesus and asked, "Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?"
17"Why do you ask me about what is good?" Jesus replied. "There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, obey the commandments."

18"Which ones?" the man inquired.

Jesus replied, " 'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, 19honor your father and mother,'[a] and 'love your neighbor as yourself.'[b]"

20"All these I have kept," the young man said. "What do I still lack?"

21Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

22When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.

23Then Jesus said to his disciples, "I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
Matthew 19:16-24
