\"God's<\/a><\/p>\n

I love silver. \u00a0I have collected many pieces of silver over the years and have probably given away more than I own! \u00a0Below is a note I have given some people with their gift of silver, a reminder to be loved, and to love:<\/p>\n

My prayer for you with this one piece is that it would be a reminder to you to polish your heart with the sweet presence of God, your loving Creator, every day, so that He can shine through you. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

When this piece of silver darkens and dulls, and you get out the polish and start buffing, ask yourself\u2026.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cHow is my quiet time going? \u00a0Does my heart feel tarnished and faded? \u00a0Am I restoring my soul every day in God\u2019s presence, being aware of His love, filled with it, and overflowing with energy as I love others? \u00a0Or is my life consumed with \u2018to do\u2019 lists and busy-ness?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

You may have to set aside the polish for a bit in order to make time for that most important thing\u2014spending time with God, and being filled with His amazing love. \u00a0His refreshing presence reminds you that polishing your heart is so much more beneficial for you (and those around you) that buffing a piece of silver, or completing any other number of worthwhile tasks.<\/em><\/p>\n

Remember.<\/p>\n

Be loved, and then love.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the most important thing.<\/p>\n

We love because He first loved u<\/em>s (1 John 4:19 NKJV<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/span>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
