The Face of Love
I've seen your face on stained glass, in colored lights
In pictures of you looking to the sky
You've been portrayed a thousand different ways
But my heart can see you better than my eyes
'Cause it's love that paints the portrait of your life
The face of love
The face of love
You look more like love every day
I've read your words in the pages of your life
And I've imagined what you were like
I may not know the shape of your face
But I can feel your heart changing mine
And your love still proves that you're alive
You are the face that changed the whole world
No one too lost for you to love
No one too low for you to serve
So give us the grace to change the world
No one too lost for me to love
No one too low for me to serve
Let us see... let us be your face
Sanctus Real - The Face of Love
I`ve put a lot of thought lately into who I am and who I want to become, long term and short term. One of the things I have realized and come to comprehend even more is that every talent I have, I have for a reason. Only now I am starting to see how I can use all of my feelings, thoughts, preferences, and talents to serve God. The trick is actually applying them all.
I`ve seen a little more of heaven in everyday life though, including a woman whose marriage was saved, prophetic dreams, and of course people completely changing who they are. There is no better place to be right now than in the mission. I know that the harder I work, the more adversity I will see. The more I learn, the more the world attempts to confuse and blind me. The more I share and serve, the more certain forces try to push me to selfishness. Yes, oftentimes I fall. I am weak, I am young, and I am definitely foolish. However, little by little I am seeing my divine potential.
I really hope that all of you are alright at home. Never hesitate to write me with any concern, stressor, or problem. I love you (all of you, of course), and pray for your wellbeing. The Lord will protect and edify you in your trials when you turn to Him, and He has already blessed our family beyond measure. Know that I`m doing just fine.
