the LV in love

'all i want for Christmas..' every time i hear that song come on the radio during that special time of year it makes me jolly. all i wanted this past year was 'one thing' a new louis vuitton purse. (short for LV for the undedicated to fashion) as it ends up. I received one this year as a complete surprise indeed. but looking back now what is the root of my wants and needs. sometimes i wonder if we realize even in the church that people look for things to become materialistic over. most people will not admit it but in the same way not everyone goes to college is there for the same thing, it is in the church- not everyone is on board when it comes to giving there hearts to God- at least completely. it could be the most insignificant thing, like gossiping about someone, or making fun of being drunk in the Holy Ghost. when i see people do this it has always bothered me, when people mock just to have a laugh around friends talking about a song or person. if we who are in the church do not take ourselves seriously, what hope does a dying world have? there is a time to have fun but is it possible to do so and not be vulgar and disrespectful to the things of God. there is also peer pressure that has crept itself into the church and in our youth groups, and i do mean 'groups' seems like everyone has there own nowadays. awhile back i asked my cousin whom i rely on deeply for advice about such a matter- and he said to me in his own words that it is of no importance who you are around the real you will always shine through a crowd, with the most handsome looking friends or with the outcasts no one cares to be seen with, there is only one you.

no matter your goals in life never be too good to show the love of God to all people, it matters not the color of there skin, the clothes or there age, in fact some of my best of friends are older than my parents. i believe it remains the whole point that goes beyond Christmas time. not to just say God bless you or I love you but to truly mean it by our deeds as the Bible says. at least that is my perspective of what love is and i know that goes beyond skin deep.
