One may wonder or think what does love have to do with a brand like Never 2 Fly 2 Pray, but I would like to give this notion context. The will to love is the determination and conviction one holds to demonstrate love and compassion to another even within the most inconvenient of circumstances. The will to love is a position and state of being one is fixed within regardless of the realities that surround it. Ultimately, the will to love is the very love that GOD shows us by accepting us freely in all of our humanness.

As illustrated in the Gospel according to Mark, we see Jesus teach His disciples a valuable lesson as He shared His insights having observed those giving an offering in the temple. Jesus observed those that had acquired a great amount of wealth giving up tons of riches in the temple offering.

Matthew 25:23

"His master replied, "Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master's happiness!"

In this portion of scripture we are gaining a bird's eye view into the benefits that come as a result of tending to that for which GOD has held us responsible. When we are thoughtful about the things GOD has placed on...
