The Love In Godliness

A little while ago I went to a summer camp for the first time. While there I was inspired on more than one occasion and the next few posts will be small pieces that I had written. 

Today in chapel father Kapriel said that when we depart from camp, we need to take this godliness with us and to be like God, to hold onto this said godliness, is to love.That when we return home, we need not to be like others that do not respect Christian values. But maybe that's just it. Maybe our world and the people in it are faulting because of a lack of love. A love of the world, the people, the souls, the objects, natural occurrences, unnatural occurrences... Love is one of the most common things we do. So how come the world is failing is miserably at it? It's the hardest and the easiest, the simplest and the most complicated. The strongest and the weakest. The emotion that is based upon respect. You cannot love if you do not respect. And there's that term we keep hearing: respect.


It's short. It's simple. It's not my best work, but I still like it.
