MYLK

How often do you start a conversation with someone you don't know too well? How often do you compliment someone you don't know at all? How often do you tell your friends you love them? How often do you make it known you care for your friends? When was the last time you made a point to sit down with a friend and ask how they're doing? When was the last time you went through your contacts and sent a thankful text or a check up text to some old friends? How often do you make your love known? How often? Friends need to hear it. Strangers need to hear it. Compliments, conversations, and reminders of being loved are all important. It's so easy to walk away from a day without remembering to give that compliment or to start that conversation. It's time we changed. It's time those things start to become easy and second nature.

MYLK (Make You Love Known) is a project aiming to aid in the fight of mental health. I believe that Making Your Love Known is the first step in the solution to fighting mental health. The crushing statistics makes everyone's hearts heavy and yet the awareness for any solution is not talked about nearly enough. Making your love known to those around you is the start we need and it is something that all of us can do right now.  We need to come together and remind people that they are loved and important in our lives.

 

Matthew 5:15, ESV: "Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house."

​

Our love, our light, should not be hidden. We should never shy away from making our love known to the people around us.

​

John 15:12, NIV: "My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you."
