Read 1 Corinthians 13:4–5
Love is patient and kind.Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude.It does not demand its own way.It is not irritable,and it keeps no record of being wronged.1 Corinthians 13:4–5
Love is not “jealous” or “arrogant.”
Think of these two terms in contrast to “patient and kind.”
Read 1 John 3:18
Dear children, let’s not merely saythat we love each other;let us show the truth by our actions.1 John 3:18
Read 1 Peter 5:10
In his kindness God called youto share in his eternal gloryby means of Christ Jesus.So after you have suffered a little while,he will restore, support, and strengthen you,and he will place you on a firm foundation.1 Peter 5:10
The grace awakening is upon us. And what can you expect upon rising from your uninformed stupor? Here are four foundational truths you can anticipate as you get a firm grasp on grace.
Read Ephesians 4:32
Instead, be kind to each other,tender-hearted, forgiving one another,just as God through Christ has forgiven you.Ephesians 4:32
A person is a product of his or her own thoughts. Thoughts form the thermostat which regulates what we accomplish in life. My body responds and reacts to the input from my mind. If I feed it with doubt, worry, and discouragement, that is precisely the kind of day I will experience.
Going...yet not knowing. Obeying...yet not understanding. Beginning a journey that is unpredictable, risky, untried, and appearing virtually insane—yet prompted by none other than the Lord Himself.
Going...yet not knowing. As followers of our Lord we believe He leads us in a certain direction...or in pursuit of a precise goal. That leading is unmistakably clear. Not necessarily logical or explainable, but clear.
Remember now, God is the One who builds trophies from the scrap pile...who draws His clay from under the bridge...who makes clean instruments of beauty from the filthy failures of yesteryear.
I await heaven’s gate opening in the not-too-distant future. So do other Christians, who anxiously await Christ’s return. Most of them anticipate hearing the soft strum of a harp or the sharp, staccato blast of a trumpet.
There are few joys like the joy of sudden discovery. Instantly forgotten is the pain and expense of the search, the inconveniences, the hours, the sacrifices. Bathed in the ecstasy of discovery, time stands still.
