There's this app on Facebook called God Wants You to Know . It generates a random message for you everyday you visit the app that the app makers call a message from God. I decided to see what "God wanted me to know today" and got this: God wants you to know that you will feel better if you notice the sweetness of life.

"She nodded, and he saw that her eyes were filling with tears. "You have to live each hour as if it's your last," she said, "and each day as if you were immortal." "But the opposite is true as well," Kate added softly. "You can't shun new challenges or hide yourself from love just because you think you might not be here to carry your dreams to completion." "I know. I fell in love with you, and then I knew. Even if I am right, even if I'm fated to live only as long as my father did before me, I'm not doomed." He leaned forward and brushed a feather-light kiss on her lips. "I have you," he whispered, "and I'm not going to waste a single moment we have together." Kate's lips spread into a smile. "What does that mean?" "It means that love isn't about being afraid that it will all be snatched away. Love's about finding the one person who makes your heart complete, who ma...
