Life Applications Reap what you sow Treat others how you want to be treated Good tree bears good fruit Let your light shine Be the salt of the earth Be a doer, not a sayer of the Word (Bible) Don’t be ashamed to share the Love within your heart
“Love covers a multitude of sins.” My favorite verse in the Bible. I try to live my life with this as my guiding principle. I’m not sure if it means my sins (mistakes), or others sins. All I know is, by following this guiding principle and trying to live a life of Love towards others, even when bad things have happened in my life; I have still had peace in my heart. “The Peace of God that passes all understanding will guide your hearts and minds”
