heaven & co

Pray for Japan, Hawaii, California - the West Coast, Libya, Egypt, New Zealand, Australia. So many things are going on - yet we take being here for granted. Count your blessings today and pray! God is bigger than these tsunamis and greater than these problems - He will make a way! :)

I'm not perfect, no where close, and never will I be - - but as a daughter of the Most High King, I am aiming to love like He does, to live like Him, to even think like Him - because He's the One who is perfect.

In 1 Corinthians 13: 4-7, it says "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. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance."

In order to be able to love others, you must learn to love God first - just as He has commanded. Jesus replied, "The most important commandment is this: 'Listen, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and with all your strength.' The second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' No other commandment is greater than these." - Mark 12:29-31

* Note the word "all" being underlined. ;) In hermeneutics class this past week, we learned that repetition of words is pretty important. Jesus didn't say to love with only a little bit of your heart, mind, or soul - but with all of it.

If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God's secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn't love others, I would be nothing.
- 1 Corinthians 13:2

- - Love certainly plays a big role in our lives. A huge role! So big that even if we were able to move mountains - - but didn't love, then we'd be nothing - - absolutely nothing. It says in 1 Corinthians 14:1 - Let love be your highest goal - - because only three things will last forever - faith, hope, and love - and the greatest of these is love. (1 Corinthians 13:13)


So look around you - look within your homes, your family, siblings, relatives, classmates, schoolmates, your co-workers, or your church! Come along through a journey that will not be easy - God never said it would be - but He has already been there, through it all.

"Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples."  - John 13:35
