If someone "snowballs" you (works against you),
pour salt on the snow, and it will melt away and make a pool
of love.
“You are like salt for everyone on earth…” (Matthew
5:13).
If someone rains on your parade, catch it and use it to
water heart flowers, then sit back and watch them bloom
into a harvest of Christ-like bouquets.
“God blesses those people who are humble…” (Matthew
5:5).
If someone throws mud in your eye, make a facial of it
and come out as a beautiful image of Christ.
“God blesses those people who are treated badly for
doing right…” (Matthew 5:10).
If someone knocks out your lights, stand in the Sonshine
and make a silhouette of Jesus.
“You are like light for the whole world…” (Matthew
5:14).
If someone dampens your salt, stay in the Sonshine until
it’s dry and restored and savory.
“… If salt no longer tastes like salt, how can it
make food salty?” (Matthew 5:13).
If someone gets on your bad side, turn the other side
toward them and say, “God loves you!”
“When someone slaps your right cheek, turn and let
that person slap your other cheek…” (Matthew 5:39)
If someone steals your thunder, wait until the storms
passes and the Son shines. The Host will say to you,
"Come
up higher and sit by me.”
“When you are invited to a wedding feast, don’t sit
in the best place…go and sit in the worst place. Then
the one who invited you may come and say, ‘My friend,
take a better seat'…Humble yourself, you will be honored“ (Luke 14:8-11).
If someone gets your dander up, count to ten, fine-comb
it out and do them a good turn in the name of Jesus.
“Love is kind and patient…” (1 Corinthians 13:4).
If someone gets your goat, let them have the milk too to
nourish and
warm their soul.
“Love… doesn’t keep a record of wrongs that others
do.” (1 Corinthians 13:5).
If someone has caused icy conditions leaving you on a
slippery slope, get your salt out again and stop the
skid and clear the way for yourself and those who follow
after on the same path.
“But love your enemies and be good to them…” (Luke
6:35).

They disbelieved Him.
They spat on Him.
They mocked and misrepresented Him.
They tried to toss Him over a cliff to kill Him.
They gave Him an illegal mockery of a
trial, found Him guilty and murdered Him—but He loved
them!
He never ran of love, never!
It began before the world was formed, was routed through
Calvary and reaches to infinity!
“Love never fails!...” (! Corinthians 13:8).

If someone doubts that love is still around, point them
to Jesus!
If someone needs your love, dip into the well of Love
given you and dispense it freely; the more you give, the
more will flow back in.
“We love Him because God loved us first” (1 John 4:19).
If Someone is knocking at your heart’s door with an
unlimited supply of unconditional Love, it’s Him—let Him in!
“For God loved the people of this world so much that
He gave His only son [Jesus] so that everyone who has
faith in Him will have eternal life and never really
die” (John 3:16).
Have a heart-felt, love-filled Valentine's Day!
Pass the love on! Keep it flowing day by day. You
have an endless supply from your Source.
