(Biblegateway.com) Bible Verse of the
Day
4 Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not want
what belongs to others. It does not brag. It is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor other
people. It does not look out for its own interests. It does not easily become
angry. It does not keep track of other people’s wrongs.
3-7 If I give
everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr,
but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I
believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love.
Love never gives
up.
Love cares more for others than for self.
Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have.
Love doesn’t strut,
Doesn’t have a swelled head,
Doesn’t force itself on others,
Isn’t always “me first,”
Doesn’t fly off the handle,
Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others,
Doesn’t revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,
Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end.

2 Thessalonians 3:16
Now may the Lord of peace himself
give you peace at all times and in every way.
The Lord be with all of you.
John 4:4-5 AMP
In Him was Life, and the Life was
the Light of men. And the Light shines
on the darkness, for the darkness has never overpowered it [put it out or
absorbed it or appropriated it, and is unreceptive to it].
Hebrews 12:3
Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that
you will not grow weary and lose heart.
Daily
Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives and/or feelings):
Up and blessed another new day filled with opportunities
waiting to happen. Good, bad, crazy,
logical, or so totally off the charts and
confusing it just is what it is.
Every single moment we are given is an opportunity
waiting to happen, to change, to be.
We may not get to pick what or when an opportunity
strikes, but we get to absolutely pick how we will respond and react to it.
I wish allot I was not blinded so easily by things,
lights in peoples dreams or even my own.
I pray more often I am less like me and more like who Jesus died and sacrificed
so we could be. I know He is not done
with any of us yet if he allows us up each new day.
Sometimes I try way too hard to be, that motherly caretaker
make up for what I never had takes over and before I know it, I find myself
right smack dab in the middle of someone else’s opportunities. Which by the way is not a bad thing; but
sometimes I set myself up for hurt and heart ache as I believe and see
something totally different in those places that what actually is.
Its like a
complete smack down of rejection when you have to own that you are just a steppingstone,
or object being used for something that is temporary and has no meaning to
those other people you step up and give all you are for.
I have lost some really beautiful and talented souls to
the world completely; or at least it feels like I did when in truth. They lost themselves and although they were
so close in shaking the demons and being who God intended from my minds
eye. They just were not there soon
enough and were taken out of this world before what I think was their time.
Yet like anything just as Jesus knew when it was his time
to bare the burdens of all the humans in the universe. Maybe it just is what it is for those who
die so young to the elements that consume them.
There is a season for everything and a reason in and
for every season. Even when I myself may
never get it.
Reasons why we hurt, reasons why we love some deeply in
ways that need no explanation and others why we love and wonder how or why it
ever came to be.
Some of us love ourselves or so we think and do what we
do for self, while others thrive when doing or being a little more selfless
than others.
What is that in-between. Especially when we just do not know what we
do not know. When we know of the God of
the universe who created all things.
Yet we do not know him personally, because we do not know His son Jesus.
God is love and He absolutely moved first. I know I myself I am one stuck and paralyzed with
that tunnel vision and lack of trust because of all the layers this journey I
have been on from day one have left with me.
From early childhood to that adult deep desired romance novel in living
color.
Sometimes IT blinds us.
Sometimes IT is washed clean and darkness is put to use
for growing forward and other times IT is just something we never look back on
or care to try and figure out.
What is IT that feeds our souls? Who lives within yours? That which you miss so deeply and daily but
can never get back to and you chase it by doing, accepting, wanting, needing
but so useless as we somehow never get back there again like that which sparks
life alive.
So thankful for you Jesus and the hope, mercy, grace
and a deep passion and love that only you fill without even question. So thankful you Jesus never gave up on me
and made me see.
So thankful for all I have been given and I am sure all
that has been taken.
Thankful for every connection I have been blessed; even
those that I miss so much I can feel them flowing through my veins.
So thankful for what forever will be even when I do not
understand the whole thing of IT.
Just knowing if this is what love really feels like; I
would not want it with anyone else leading the way.
Your Peace Jesus: Is what forever fills my internal
space of confidence!
I am lost without you and so very done as I find myself
shattered a billion times in a billion pieces and You alone even not fully understanding
how or why me. You Jesus are the glue
that keeps me together and allows me to get back up and pour out each and every
day. Even if, even when.
Be with all I am connected, please!
Be the courage, strength, love, light the everything
for all I am connected and are still here and now and able to know you.
Thank you for this day and all that have come to pass. Thank you for any tomorrow’s I may
