Choose to be love...

I happened upon an old email that included children's definitions of love.  This one always causes me to pause. 
 
'When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different.
 You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.'  Billy - age 4

Wouldn't it be great if we (believers) became known as those with whom your name is safe; that in the midst of this world we were able to convey scripture by living it out?   By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another. (John 13:35) But my mouth would encourage you; comfort from my lips would bring you relief. (Job 16:5)  
 
Would those that know you say their name is safe in your mouth?
 
Today let's choose to encourage and let the love of the Lord flow through us.
