Yes, there is much to say about respect ...of every person, but also of God, who is no respecter of any person, yet considers all person cumulatively while He individually loves each of us, and had sent His Son to save us from eternally living with the self we so often try to defend.

There is a saying that goes, "You can't outgive God."

Yet, we forget some of the most meaningful giving comes from difficult moments.  We often try to give gifts that really should not be ...arguably, many of these things we buy on credit, not wanting to wait.

And often we think we want what we later think we don't. Sometimes that's not a huge issue, but our flexibility with this should not involve other lives in tragic ways.

If we have fleeting interests, and decide we want to freely move in and out of relationships ...we don't have God's understanding of what affect it has upon others.  We should cherish all life today, and also cherish it tomorrow.  The flowers in the bride's hand will fade ...and the flower holding the flower of hope will also fade in many people's expectations, but the Word of God lasts forever.

Forever resides in God's hands ...and it is an extended hand of love.  If we reject the hand that reaches out to save us ...what happens??  

We fall.

But, God's arm is not short ...we just don't know whether our time is, so reach out now.
