Me:\u00a0 Taking a walk Prodigal?<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 Yes, trying to spend some time with God and get exercise at the same time.<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 Well I can share with you and maybe it will be encouraging.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Dr. James Gills shares in his book Love Fulfilling the Ultimate Quest<\/p>\n

It is only as we choose to walk in humility that we begin to appreciate the smallest expressions of love from God and from those around us.\u00a0 Then we are able to recognize the pain of others and desire to make their lives better, if only by a smile.\u00a0 Radical love, like the self-sacrificing agape of our Savior, Jesus Christ, can only grow in the soil of humility; pride will choke out even the seed of love that has been planted in our hearts.\u00a0 A humble heart if thankful for every good thing it receives.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is one of those days that pride wants to take over and not allow me to see all that I am thankful for and all I have.\u00a0 O God let me thank you for my friends and my family and the love that you show me!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1 John 4:15<\/p>\n

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.<\/p>\n
