Another one of my favorite Bible verses, one that I call the OTHER 3:16 (because John 3:16 is so popular, but this is the other one), "Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren" (1 John 3:16). Receiving and releasing in a nutshell. He loves us, we love Him back by loving each other. It's really just that simple. Letting God love the hell out of us... and loving the hell out of each other. And, listen, that doesn't mean you always have to agree with people. Like Mark Twain said, "The more time I spend with people... the more I love my dog." People can be a lot sometimes. But that doesn't mean you should not love them. In fact, those people that are the hardest to love are the ones who need it the most. Because they aren't getting it anywhere. Because they're hard to love. Kind of a vicious cycle. If you don't feel loved you will lash out. Which makes it even harder for you to get what you want. Hurt people hurt people. But loved people love people. And, in this Kingdom economy that we live in, that doesn't mean "Some person loves me." It means "GOD loves me." And, yes, that usually manifests itself through people. The Lord works in mysterious ways because He works through people, and people are mysterious. But if you look at 1 Samuel 30:6 you see, "And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God." Sometimes it's just you and God. Sometimes that's all you've got. All the time that's all you need. Because if you've got God you've got love. Because God IS love. When we're wondering what to do now... the answer is always the same. People say Jesus is the solution to every problem, and then wise-acre people give a math problem. That's not what we mean. We mean every situation--including math--needs love in it. And we, as those who know and believe the love of God, are the ones equipped and empowered to spread that love. He laid His life down for us. We ought to lay our lives down for each other. That's what it means to love one another as Jesus loves us. That's what it means to obey the New Commandment. Love as you are loved. Give what you've been given. Live out of your abundance. Stop chasing those things that you (think you) don't have. Those things that you don't really need. Be content with what God gives you. Because He has given you everything. Everything He has and everything He is. He has given us His Son. His Spirit. His life. His love. Anytime we don't know what to do, we can default to simply loving people. That's the answer. That's the solution. It's that simple. Not always necessarily that EASY, but certainly that simple. Now what? Well, because of what came before (2,000 years before on an old rugged cross), now we can love. Because now we know that we have love. Now we know that we are loved. And if you have love, because you are loved, that's when you can love, because you are love!

Let's try to look at this in a different way. We're talking about what to do with our lives, kind of, right? Talking about what has happened and what CAN happen because of what has happened. And, really, that's the cross. The cross is the biggest thing that has ever happened. The God who is love expressing His love for His creation by giving His life for us and to us. God literally laying His life down for His friends. Dying, if I can say it this way, so that we could live. Look at Hebrews 9:27, "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment." And notice, it is appointed unto men ONCE to die. That, again, was the cross. Jesus drew us all into Himself and died. That was our death. The second death, if I can muddle things up a little bit. The first death was our death in Adam. When he ate of the tree of death (the tree of knowledge of good and evil). The second death--the death OF death--on the cross. Led to the judgment of God. So, clearly, death can't BE the judgment of God. First death, then judgment. I've died. Now what? Galatians 2:20, "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." I died... now I can live. The old died... now the new can come forth. The New Man that is Jesus. God in the flesh. Love in a body. God in OUR flesh. Love in OUR body. Let me say it another way. "Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another" (1 John 4:11). Receiving and releasing. God loves us. Now what? Now we love Him back by loving each other. We died in Him. Now He lives in us. To live is to love and to love is to live, right? Living and loving aren't just connected. They are the same thing. This abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life of God is a life of love. Love is what makes the abundant life... abundant. Love is what makes life worth living. Love is what makes it possible to live. It's all about love. We died. Now what? Now we live. How? By letting God love us and then loving Him back by loving people. We love because He first loved us. He loves us, so we ought to love each other. Receiving and releasing. Letting what's inside come out by filling ourselves to overflowing with it. By knowing and believing that God's love--God Himself--is in us. What you believe is inside WILL come out. It has to. Because whatever it is, it is too big to stay inside. Think about when you try to repress things. Anger, sadness, bitterness, whatever. When you try to hold it in... it just ends up exploding out. We have to find a way to express ourselves in healthy ways. Self-love, if I can say it that way. Self-care. Letting what's inside come out, but doing it in a way that is helping and not hurting. Because that's all a part of life. And we've already died. At least twice that I can see. After death comes the judgment. God's judgment. Not a death sentence, but an everlasting life sentence! We've died. Now what? Now... we live!

It's a question that I used to ask myself a lot. Because I've never been afraid to try to do things. A lot of the time it doesn't work out the way I think it will (or the way I think it should), but I comfort myself by being able to say, "At least I tried." And then I usually say, "Ok... now what?" And the answer to that question is many times (perhaps every time) predicated on what came before. If you try something and it doesn't work you can either try again or try something new. Right? It depends on what happened before. So, in the context of Spiritual things let's look at John 12:31. In which Jesus say, "Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out." Get it? The judgment happened over 2,000 years ago. And, as I've stated many times, God's judgment was NOT to kill His Son. That was what man was doing. God's judgment was to raise His Son from the dead. And us with Him. Because we were IN Him. When Jesus was lifted up from the earth on the cross, He drew all men into Himself. Out of Adam and into Christ. From that point on we were conformed to the image of God's beloved Son in whom He is well pleased. See, in the beginning we were created in the image of God. But we didn't know what we looked like, because we didn't know what HE looked like. That is what was so important about Jesus telling Phillip, "If you've seen me, you've seen the Father." Jesus came to show us what God looks like. What WE look like. That's why He--God, who is love--wrapped Himself in human flesh. He wanted us to see God (love) in the man Jesus so that we could understand what it means for God (love) to be in us. That was God's judgment--not a death sentence but an abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life sentence. Which is to say, now that the judgment of this world has come... we can live. Now that the prince of this world has been cast out... we can rule and reign as kings and priests! Look at Revelation 5:10, "And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth." We shall reign on this earth. Because He HAS made us kings and priests. Past and present tense. Not something that needs to happen, but something that has happened. Again, 2000 years ago. Now we can live. Now we are kings and priests. Now we can rule and reign. And, listen, that doesn't mean imposing our will on others. It means letting love rule and reign. Because love is not just what we do. Love is who we are. Love is our true identity and our true nature. Love is what makes life worth living. And love is what makes it possible to truly live. Because to live IS to love, and to love is to live. They aren't just connected, they are the same thing. So the question, "Now what?" has a very simple answer. The work is finished. Now we can rest. Not through inactivity, but through Holy Spirit directed activity. And I'm here to tell you that the Holy Spirit only directs you to ever do one thing: Love. Now what? What do I do now? Well... now you do what you CAN do. What you've been equipped and empowered to do. Now what? Now love!

We just finished a Rant series about how it is finished. And we ended it with the revelation that BECAUSE it is finished we are equipped and empowered to run the race that is set before us. We have been filled with the love of God. That's a done deal. And now we can fill ourselves to overflowing WITH that love and we can let it flow out of us. Which, to me, answers the question I'm posing for the title of this Rant series. What now? Now... love! Luke 3:10-11 says, "And the people asked him, saying, what shall we do then? He answereth and saith unto them, He that hath two coats, let him impart to him that hath none; and he that hath meat, let him do likewise." To me, it's always been that simple. See a need and meet it. Live out of your abundance. Because, if you notice, John didn't say, "Give your coat away and freeze to death." He said, "If you have two, and you see someone without one... give one of your two." Jesus came that we might have life, and that more abundantly. To live is to love. To love is to live. They aren't just connected, they are the same thing. So if you want to truly experience life... you have to love. You have to know that you ARE loved, and then you have to give that love that you have. Receive and release the gift you've been given. Let God love you and then love Him back by loving people. Because what makes life abundant? Love! God's love in and through and as us. God's love coming out of us with every breath we take and every move we make. That's what now. That's what we are called to do. That's what we are CREATED to do. God has blessed us to be a blessing. I always say it like this, "When you don't know what to do... do what you know." Let me say it another way: If you know it, throw it. But you can't give what you don't have. And you can only give what you do have. That's why the Divine Order of things is knowing and believing. Receiving and releasing. You can't believing something that you don't know. And you can't release something you haven't received. I'm going to back up just a little bit. Because the Scripture we read asks the question, "What shall we do then?" So we need to see what came first. First-then, right? First something happened, then something else can happen. Luke 3:9, "And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire." This is the same idea as the mountain being cast into the sea. The mountain is the Law. The Old Covenant. The old which was passed away. This tree that doesn't bring forth good fruit is the tree of death, the tree of knowledge of good and evil. The fig tree that Jesus cursed because it wouldn't bring forth ANY fruit at all. Nothing can come from the tree of death BUT death. Nothing can come from the Tree of Life BUT life. You are what you eat. What's inside--what you believe is inside--comes out. It has to. Because whatever it is, it's too big. That's why it's important to to know what's REALLY in there. The love of God. To know that He loves us--that He has given us everything He has and everything He is--is what equips and empowers us to be able to love Him back by loving each other. Give ourselves to each other. Laying your life down for your friend is the greatest expression of love that a man can have. Esteeming others higher than yourself. Not worrying about what you have (or don't have), and simply sharing what you do have. Giving what you've got. Not over-extending yourself, but living out of your abundance. Doing what you can do. Staying in your lane. Being who YOU are. Who God created you to be. Doing what YOU can do. To the people that God has put in YOUR path. You don't have to do everything. And that's good, because you can't do everything. All you can do is all you can do. Now what? See a need and meet it. Live out of your abundance. Love people!

This might seem like a little bit of a strange way to end this Rant series, but I want to talk about the last part of Hebrews 12:1, "Where seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin with doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us." Maybe a little bit strange because we've been talking about how it is finished. How Jesus did everything He needed to do in order to get us to where we needed--where He wanted--us to be. How now that it is finished we can enjoy the fruit of Jesus's labor. Which is the fruit of the Spirit. Which is love. But that's the point! Rest is not inactivity. Rest is Holy Spirit directed activity. And the only thing the Holy Spirit can or will ever direct us to do is love each other. What else could the God who is love want or require from us? And that's why He first loved us. He gave us everything we could possibly need in order to enjoy this abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life of love that He has given us. He has equipped and empowered us to run the race that is set before us. He has equipped and empowered us to do what we were created to do. Which is, quite simply, to live. To live is to love and to love is to live, right? They aren't just connected. They are the same thing. So what we need to understand is that we ARE loved. That is finished. Jesus said the greatest love a man can have is to lay His life down for His friends. And then He went to the cross and did just that. He didn't just tell us what love is, He showed us what love is. He put His money where His mouth was, if I can say it that way. And He didn't just give His life FOR us, He gave His life TO us. So that we could have it. So that we could experience it. So that we could enjoy His love by giving it away. By sharing it. We live Jesus's abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life of love by letting Jesus live His own life in us, and through us, and as us. Nobody can live Jesus's life except Jesus. So we need to stop trying so hard. Just let it go and let it flow. Run the race that is set before us. By staying in our lane. By being who we were created to be instead of trying (and failing) to be someone we're not. It is finished. Jesus did it. That means you don't need to do it yourself. You can let the God--the love-that is inside come out. By filling yourself to overflowing with what you've already been filled with. By letting God love the hell out of you and then loving Him back by loving the people that He has put in your path. The work is finished. But that doesn't mean there is nothing for us to do. It simply means that we can do what we were created to do. The separation that WE put between ourselves and God--when Adam and Eve ate from the tree of death and then hid from the presence of God--has been erased. There is no separation between God and man. God lives in man. And God is love. So that means love lives in man. It's a done deal. We can run the race... we can love... because it is finished. Because we are loved. And because we are loved... we are love! It's not just what we do, it's who we are!

On the cross Jesus cried out, "It is finished," right before giving up the ghost. Right before making the greatest sacrifice He could make. Right before giving the greatest expression of love that a man can give. But even though it's only three words... it's so big. We've already looked at a couple different aspects of it. Forgiveness. It is finished. We ARE forgiven. Love. It is finished. We ARE loved. The mountain of the Law. That's a big one. Tonight I want to look at the shift that happened on the cross. From the old to the new. Look at 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." And add this to that: "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me" (John 12:32). I added that second verse (which is the red letters, by the way. Jesus speaking) so that we could be completely clear about whether or not we are in Christ. We are. On the cross He drew us all into Himself. And planted Himself in all of us. Through the cross the old passed away. The old man died. And three days later rose again as a New Man. The trick is that phrase "all things are become new." Because it means all things HAVE become new. All things ARE becoming new. And all things WILL become new. Past, present, and future tense. The constant unveiling of what is--and has always been--true. That's why it's ok for us to learn and grow. To take baby steps. To make mistakes. To let grace cover us. Grace to grow. It's a learning process. Just like when a baby is learning to walk. You don't condemn it for falling. You praise it even for those early shaky steps. Same thing with us living this abundant, everlasting, eternal, Resurrection Life of love that is the gift of God. We are learning how to love. By learning how we are loved. Love is the only thing that can fill us up and make us whole. Love is the only thing that can fill that God-shaped (love-shaped) void inside of us. Nothing else quite fits. All of that old stuff that we've tried to fill ourselves up with... just doesn't fit. Just doesn't work. Works and labor don't work. Only love. Only love. So. Jesus was lifted up from the earth on the cross. And He cried out, "It is finished." The old passed away. The new came forth. And is coming forth. And will come forth. We are exactly who we need to be, even as we are learning who we are. There is no doubt that we will come into our own. Come into our maturity. One more time: Learn and grow. Just because you are complete in Him doesn't mean you don't have to learn what it means to BE complete in Him. So don't get down on yourself if you feel like you don't have it all together. Let it come. Let it go. Let it flow. Let go and let God. He reveals Himself to us, and that is how we BE who we really are. Because HE is who we really are. Who we are in Christ is who we really are. A new creature. A New Man. With a new nature. Our TRUE nature. The love nature. If you have a love nature, then love is your natural reaction. The more you fill yourself with God's love, the more God's love can, and will, flow out of you. And that, friends, is what this life is all about!

I can't stress how important it is that we understand possibly the three most important words Jesus ever spoke: It is finished. Because, well, let me quote my Scripture for today. "For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit" (Romans 8:3-4). Walking after the flesh is no good. Trying to accomplish things through the Law is no good. It's not about behavior as much as it is about righteousness. Spirit. God's Spirit. The Holy Spirit. The Spirit of truth that leads and guides us into all truth. The truth that God is love and He loves you. The ultimate truth of the universe that says, "The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand" (John 3:35). We looked at forgiveness yesterday, but this, more than anything is what was finished--or settled--on the cross. God proved His love for us. "Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren" (1 John 3:16). It's what Jesus meant when He said the greatest love a man can have is to lay his life down for his friends. It's what we have been equippe and empowered to do... now that the work is finished. Now that we know who God is. Now that we know what love is. And listen, I've Ranted on this many times before: Knowing what love is doesn't mean we understand every single aspect of it. This never ending eternal life-long journey into the heart of the matter, is just that. Because the heart of the matter... is the heart. God's heart beating in our chests. God's love filling us up to overflowing and coming out of us. Naturally. See, we don't have to try to earn Daddy's love. We can, instead, simply receive it and release it. He laid His life down for us... we ought to lay our lives down for each other. It's really that simple. But as long as we're trying to do it in our own strength or power... we'll continue to fail. To bang our heads against the wall and have nothing to show for it but a headache. We couldn't do it. That's the point. So Jesus came and did it. Both for us and AS us. He drew us into Himself and planted Himself in us. The incorruptible seed... of love. And that love grows. Especially when we water it. What you feed is what will grow. The more you love people, the more you will feel love. The more you will experience love. Because love is giving. Giving everything you have and everything you are. Love isn't about what you get. Love is about what you give. And, since the work is finished, you don't have to try to get anything. You already have everything you need. I have no lack because my God has no lack. It's just simply about receving and releasing. Understanding that Jesus has finished the work, and enjoying the fruit of His labor. Which is the fruit of the Spirit. Which is love. We love, because He first loved us. We CAN love because He loves us. He has filled us up. That was the work, and it is finished. Now we can fill ourselves up with what we've been filled with... by filling each other up with what we've been filled with! By giving what we've got. By letting God love the hell out of us and then turning around and loving the hell out of each other!

It is finished. Perhaps the most powerful phrase ever uttered. The last words spoken before Jesus gave up the ghost. His dying declaration, if I can say it that way. And to me it goes right along with--hand in hand with--the other incredibly powerful thing He said on the cross. "Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots" (Luke 23:34). Father, forgive them. It is finished. Which is to say... we are forgiven. Which is to say, we don't need to keep punishing ourselves (or each other) for things that have happened. God has forgiven us. We can, and should, and ought to, forgive ourselves. And each other. And, by the way, while I think Jesus was saying "Father forgive them for they know not what they do" about all of humanity just about all of the time... He was also saying it about the people who were physically, literally nailing Him to a cross. After beating Him. And jamming a crown of thorns on His head. With the intention of killing Him. I'm not going to get into it right now, but this does seem like a good place to say that, for the record, nobody killed Jesus. He IS life. Nobody COULD kill Him. He gave up the ghost. He sacrificed Himself. Laid His life down for His friends. As the greatest expression of love that a man can have. But I digress. For tonight I want to focus on forgiveness. And how important it is to know that you are forgiven. How important it is that the forgiveness... is finished. We don't have to beg for it, or work for it. God never wanted us to suffer. He's not some kid with a magnifying glass using the power of the sun to burn ants. He's not in the business of torturing people. He created us so that He could express His love--Himself--to us. And in us, and through us, and as us. He didn't want us to have that guilty conscience always holding us back. So He washed us with His Word (which is Jesus, which is love), and He forgave us our sins. In fact TOOK AWAY the sin (unbelief) of the world. He didn't want us to have to deal with it, so He dealt with it. Done deal. It is finished. Because, really, do you think Jesus asked His heavenly Father for forgiveness for us... and God denied His Son's request? I don't think that's what happened at all. I think God spoke through Jesus. They were of one mind. Jesus literally said, "I and my Father are One." It wasn't Jesus throwing a hail Mary... wishing and hoping. It was Jesus expressing His Father's heart. God is in the forgiving business, not the torturing business. You don't need forgiveness. You have forgiveness. You ARE forgiven. So you can lay aside the sin (again, unbelief) and the weight that so easily besets you, and you can run the race that is set before you. You can be who you are meant to be instead of letting every mistake, and bad decision, and... whatever hold you back and knock you down. Jesus can, and will, and does, keep us from falling. Because He wants us to stand. Because He wants us to walk. And run. And jump. And dance. He wants us to enjoy this life we've been given. So He smashed those chains that were binding us. He set us free 2000 years ago on an old rugged cross!

My all-time favorite verse in the Bible is 1 Thessalonians 5:17, "Pray without ceasing." And I chose that verse, in part, because my dad's favorite verse is John 11:25, "Jesus wept." He picked the shortest verse. I picked the next shortest. But, in reality, I think the most powerful three word phrase in the Bible is found in John 19:30, "When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost." Now, listen, an entire book could be written on those three words--It is finished. And I have half a mind to write such a book. But for the next few days I just want to kind of dive in and look at what it really means for the work to be finished. And here it is, as simply as I can put it: Jesus finished the work so that we could enjoy the fruit of His labor. Which is the fruit of the Spirit. Which is love. There was a mountain between us and God, if I can say it that way. A mountain called the Law of Moses. The idea that we had to do something in order to be something. The lie that the serpent whispered into Eve's ear way back in the garden of Eden that said, "If you eat from the tree you'll be like God." Obviously a lie, because we were already (and always) like God. He created us in His image. That was a done deal right from the jump. The problem was that we couldn't see it. You can only be what you see. What you magnify in your life is what manifests in your life. Seeing is believing, and at that time--before the cross, without the Holy Spirit--we couldn't see anything except our faults. Our screw ups. All the things that were wrong with us. We couldn't see that Jesus had washed us with the Word (which is Jesus, which is love) and presented us to Himself as a bride without spot, wrinkle, or any such thing. All we could hear was the world screaming at us. We couldn't hear that still, small voice deep inside that was our heavenly Father saying, "I love you." We couldn't hear that until Jesus said, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13). Because faith comes from hearing, and hearing from the Word (again, Jesus... love) of God. But Jesus didn't stop there. He didn't just TELL us what love is. He went to the cross and SHOWED us. After He said, "It is finished," He bowed His head and gave up the ghost. He literally put His money where His mouth was and laid His life down for us. And He didn't just give His life FOR us. He also gave His life TO us. So that we could have it. Because He wanted us to have it. Because He loves us. See, what He finished was everything old. "And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you" (Matthew 17:20). That mountain was the Law. The separation between God and man. Jesus removed it on the cross. He got rid of the separation between God and man by putting God INTO man. By taking up abode, or dwelling, in us. So that we could stop trying so hard to finish something that we never had a chance of finishing anyway. There's so much to get into with this. So stick with it...

Life is ten percent what happens to you and ninety percent how you deal with it. Because you can't control anything but yourself. Jesus said in this world you WILL have tribulation, right? Like... life happens. Every day. The trick is making sure that instead of letting things get into you, you let what's already (truly) in you get out. Instead of being a thermometer and taking the temperature of the room, letting everything and everybody else dictate to you... you can be a thermostat and SET the temperature of the room. You can let what's inside of you come out and affect what's going on around you. Listen, the fire in you is always hotter than the fire you're in. Just like those three Hebrew boys who were cast into the fiery furnace. They came out smelling like roses, and the only thing burned away were the bonds they were tied with. Why? Because three of them were cast into the fire but there was a fourth man in there with them, and He looked just like the Son of God! (Because He was the Son of God.) They didn't cry and scream and wail because of what was happening to them. They just trusted in God to take care of it. And He did. Like He always does. Our heavenly Father has our backs. He can, and will, and does, keep us from falling. Love holds us up. Why do we have an attitude of gratitude? Because our God has supplied all our need. He has given us everything we could ever need when He gave us Himself. His Spirit. His Son. His life. His love. You don't thank God in order to try to get something. That's backwards. And nonsense. You thank God for what He has given you. Stop chasing things you don't have and start enjoying the things you do have. The robber that Jesus spoke about in the book of John... is us. We rob ourselves from experiencing what we have by ignoring it and chasing anything and everything else. Think about it. God gives us everything He has and everything He is... and we spend (waste) our Three T's (time, talent, treasure) trying to get something else? Kind of a slap in the face, really. And tragic. Because we have what we need. We have it. All we need to do is receive it and release it. Experience it by giving it away. Share it. That's when things are really real. If you see a good movie... that's cool. That's fun. If you see a good movie with someone else... that's even better. A shared experience. Laughing with someone is better than laughing by yourself. What I'm trying to say tonight, and in this Rant series as a whole, is that in large part you control how your life goes. By the way you react to things. You can let things wreck you. I wouldn't advise it, but you can. Or you can let things help you learn and grow. You can cry about what you don't have... or you can spend that same energy enjoying what you do have. It's all about your attitude. I saw a picture of like a medal podium. For a race. And the kid with the second place medal was crying. While the kid with the third place medal was over the moon happy. One was sad because they didn't get what they wanted. The other was happy because they did better than they expected. It's all about your attitude. It's all about letting the love that's inside come out in every situation. Living a life of love by loving people. Having a good attitude. A love attitude!
