I

realized today that one of the best ways to love someone is to meet them where they are. Respect how they feel, and realize their insecurities. And be there for them-the whole way.

Thats all.

Lord, revive me of my insecurities.

The things I'm not good at.
The things I can't figure out.
The things that annoy people.
The things I do betraying You.
The sins I commit.
Things I attempt to love with myself.
The pain I give you.

----
Answer me quickly, O LORD;
my spirit fails.
Do not hide your face from me
or I will be like those who go down to the pit.

Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
for to you I lift up my soul.

Rescue me from my enemies, O LORD,
for I hide myself in you.

Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God;
may your good Spirit
lead me on level ground.

For your name's sake, O LORD, preserve my life;
in your righteousness, bring me out of trouble.

In your unfailing love, silence my enemies;
destroy all my foes,
for I am your servant.

Psalm 143:7-12
----

revive me, revive me
not for me but for Your name
in Your mercy deliver me from my enemies
revive me

-Shane and Shane



revive me, Father.

Love

Why is it that people reject love so often? How come a "real man" is portrayed as somewhat of a dead beat nowadays? They show no emotion, they just run the household emotionless, and loveless it seems. Why can't a man hug another man without it being suspicious sometimes?

I think about these things so much and it comes into my mind everyday, usually multiple times. What are there man laws? Why is there one set of man laws for every single male out there? Why can't a person be a person, and not be stereotyped anything. I think this is my biggest struggle right now. Finding out my identity, and coming to the realization that I am who I am, and that is okay, because I am in love with my Savior, and He formed me that way.

I get really down when I see people reject my love, and when I notice it from other people. I'm sure I do it do (slap me if I ever do that), but it just breaks my heart when I see that because even though the love we can give is flawed, I pray that I just ooze with God's love within me so much so that I just want to give it to the world. Unfortunately its not always like that, but that is my prayer today.

I love to show my love. If you don't like it when I show my love to you, I'm really sorry for you, because you are missing out on such a wonderful gift God gives, and that is never failing love given to you by other people through Christ.

Love,
Marc

P.S. 1.) It's snowing and windy. So windy that I can hear it whistling loud and clear in my dorm.

2.) Kyle is sleeping right now, and making those silly sucking noises that is really funny.

3.) I got a supporting role in the musical, and if you don't come, I'll probably shank you.

4.) Going out to Dennys late at night and pouring your heart out to people is the best. Especially when it is repenting, and sharing of life.

5.)...did I tell you I loved you? well I do.
