Brotherly love:
Something I think a lot of people take for granted these days or potentially have never truly felt. You don’t have to have an actual brother to feel this love. You simply have to surround yourself with people that constantly have your best interest in mind, and not only have your back and hold you up when things get tough but are willing to actually step up in front and help take the punches with you.

I believe that outside of marriage this bond is the best representation of the love God shows us each and every day. Jesus chose to die for you... actually think about that! He died so that you can have the CHANCE at eternal life. He didn’t even need to know you were going to chose eternal life! HE JUST DID IT! He had your best interest in mind before you even knew what was best for yourself and he said yes I want that for Kyle, or Luke, or whatever the heck your name it! THAT’S INSANE!!! A man... died so that you could simply have the opportunity to truly live! Are you willing to do that for someone you love... or even, take that a step further, for anyone! Jesus explains how we are meant to show this love in a short chat he has with a man in the book of Luke (kinda ironic eh).

“One day an expert in religious law stood up to test Jesus by asking him this question: “Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?”
Jesus replied, “What does the law of Moses say? How do you read it?”
The man answered, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.’ And, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” “Right!”
Jesus told him. “Do this and you will live!”
The man wanted to justify his actions, so he asked Jesus, ‘And who is my neighbor?’” - Luke 10:25-29 NLT

The answer to this mans question is EVERYONE AND ANYONE. Jesus has called us to show this love undoubtedly to even the smallest of people in our lives. So all this being said I hope that through this you feel loved and truly understood and cared for because trust me when I say I love you, I seriously love you! I’m always here to chat and always here to stand up and take the punches with YOU!
