my heart is an empty room

I am better than no one.
Everyone deserves my friendship.
Some...I would say deserve it more, because they are a better use of my time... but Christ didn't play favourites.
He loved. He loves. It is active, not dormant. past, present, future. That's what there is. His love.
my love isn't enough. it's not enough to last a life time. but everyone deserves it. I can't choose who I'm kind to. Who I forgive. Who I love. I have to be kind to, forgive and love them all. There are people in this world that I don't like, there are some people that I wish would respect others more, treat others nicer, honor themselves...some people I'm jealous of. Some people I wish would just leave me alone. But it doesn't matter. Everyone deserves my friendship. Everyone deserves my love.
There are times when I run out of patience, when I just don't have any last nerves. Certain personalities and I don't get along- that's because we're all made so differently.. but the point im trying to make is, i dont have a choice whether to love someone or not. I have to be nice to them. I have to care. I have to try. My love can be shown through my actions- if someone is driving me nuts, I will walk away instead of blowing up. I will choose my words wisely when I want to confront them about changing their actions. I will try harder to obstain from gossip. If you can't say it to their face, it is gossip. I don't want to be a gossiper.
I love because I am loved.
I will try, and I won't give up, because no one has given up on me.
I will give everyone the benefit of a doubt. I will not pick and choose.
Because I am better than no one.
