We've gotten caught up in thinking we are what we look like, the physical, the exterior. We think we're the lamp shade. We've forgotten that we are the light-the electricity and the luminosity that lights up every man, woman, and child. The light is who we truly are.
Rely on yourself, _x000D_ and be true to who you are. _x000D_ What's unique about you _x000D_ is what will take you far. _x000D_ Don't look to others to say you're okay. _x000D_ You know it--so believe it!-- _x000D_ show your own self the way.

When we look at the love of Christ, we make a wonderful discovery. Love is more a decision than an emotion! Christ-like love applauds good behavior. At the same time Christ-like love refuses to endorse misbehavior. Jesus loved His apostles, but He wasn't silent when they were faithless. Jesus loved the people in the temple, but He didn't sit still when they were hypocritical.
