I love you

This is my last entry from Korea. Internet access will likely be somewhat choppy over the next couple of weeks, but I will update again. I will keep this up.

I can say this easily because I know something about this. This blog is not a blog just for the sake of having another blog. There’s plenty of those. This blog is just my first steps in what I hope will be a major and significant ministry. This blog is the first part in an amazing idea the Lord has blessed me with, and not revealing what it is to everyone before it’s ready is hard because I know it’s good. I have faith. This blog is an essential part of what will one day be something much bigger, and I can’t let this whole thing fall apart because I got tired of updating a blog. I won’t let that happen.

I am going back to the US to go into the ministry. I go into the ministry not because I want to be someone who can run around on the streets and condemn people as sinners. Quite the opposite. I will not be a minister motivated by hate, but by love. The love the Lord has for me, the love I have for Him, and the love He has taught me to have for all people.

That’s right. I love you. You out there. Person reading this. I love you. I don’t care what mistakes you’ve made, or what you’ve done wrong. I love you. Hey. Guys. Males. Take this weird phrase. I love you. Person with no electricity, and who can't possibly read this. I love you. Person sitting in your mansion that cost more than the GDP for some countries. I love you. Girl who has been abused and has had your self confidence beat down by every one around you. Woman or child who has been sucked in by the evil of human trafficking. I love you. Those who suffer. I love you. Fellow Christians. I love you. Those without Christ. I love you. Republicans. Democrats. Libertarians. I love you. I love everything the Lord has created, and I love you. Out of love for you I want you all to know the joy that can come from a relationship with Jesus Christ, who loves us all so much that He died for us.

I love all God’s done, and I love all He’s made. I love all people, the trees, the rocks, the stars, the animals, the fossils, and the bugs (though I’ll squash them if they get in my house). I love the cars God gave us the brain to create. I love tall buildings, space stations, houses, boxed cereal, and recliners. I love the Lord, I love Jesus, I love the Holy Spirit, I love my wife, and I love you to.

There’s a great song that defines this, and it’s just about the only new song me and Ashley heard the whole time we were in Korea. We heard it nearly every day, and we never tire of it. I’ll close out my entries in Korea with it. Watch it, and remember just one thing. I love you:
