AGAPE LOVE

I intentionally picked Agape love for this weeks topic as a reminder to love one another - DESPITE the outcome of this weeks tumultuous presidential election.

NO MATTER the outcome, we ALL need a reminder to choose love, selflessness and understanding in order to shine the light of Christ.

You will never win someone over by arguing or berating them - people will always remember how you treated them.

Let us all practice God’s love in action.
