This is the beginning of your release.

As you turn the pages of this book, you will come closer to a day you thought you would never see again. You will grow in the appreciation of times of refreshing. It’s a new day, and you are overdue to have a new mindset! I am approaching middle age, and I am just beginning to live my life with my new mindset. Like most of us, I have had to experience the bad and ugly stuff that life can bring.

Most of us know what love looks like, and we know how to perform the act of love. Still, the absence of true love is the core reason behind violent crimes today.

1 John 3:18 says,

My little children let us not love in word, neither in tongue: but in deed, and in truth.

This simply means that if you are supposed to love someone, you should show it daily.

As I continue to live, I learn that the word love has been tossed around like a baseball. Whenever we are walking in love, it should be managed with care. This brings me to my next point.

What is the result of mishandled love?

Together, we will explore a sickness that affects more people
