A few posts ago, I talked about the verse that spoke about when David prayed for God to enlargen his heart. I probably think about this verse more than any other verse because there are so many times that I need to have love for someone... that I have none for.
Lord, I ask you to give me a special spot of love for "my friend" in Prims that I struggle to love. I ask you Lord to give me a special love for her and that You will give me patience, understanding, and compassion with and for her.
The great thing about being a follower of Christ and a friend of God is this: God gives us a physical heart and an "spiritual heart". After all, God is love, and it's impossible to love outside of Him. Our physical heart might not grow, but our spiritual heart can grow daily. When God brings new people in our lives, He doesn't squish them in there to make everyone fit. He gives everyone their own special room. When we meet new people, whether it's 1 or 2 or 100, He adds on new rooms. There's always construction going on in our hearts. The best part is that once someone is out of our lives, their room is empty. No one can fill someone's room. Once it's there, it will always be there. Each room only belongs to the original occupant, there are no replacements or visitors. Everyone is a permanent fixture and will always have a place to come, stay, and reside in love.

I love all of you so very much, and trust me in this... You all have a very special room in the core of my heart.

You have such a wondeful heart and are a good example to look to as a christian. I'm glad I met you and can stay in contact with you
