All is full of love

I have for a while loved this saying "all is full of love". For me it means that in this very burdened and sinful world it is better to see the best in things and know that there is love in everything. In many ways this has been a motto for my life. I beleive it is much better in life to be optimistic and see the good because I have a God that made a beautiful world and I was put on this earth for for a reason. One of the reasons is to love people. I think loving people is something we are all suppose to do and it comes naturally in my life and it's who I am. So that is just the reason why I am going to be living in Laos next year, simply to love people.
