(Biblegateway.com) Bible Verse of the
Day
The Way of Love
13 If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but
don’t love, I’m nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate.
2 If I speak God’s Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and
making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain,
“Jump,” and it jumps, but I don’t love, I’m nothing.
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.
13 Suppose I speak in the languages of human beings
or of angels. If I don’t have love, I am only a loud gong or a noisy cymbal. 2 Suppose I have the gift of
prophecy. Suppose I can understand all the secret things of God and know
everything about him. And suppose I have enough faith to move mountains. If I
don’t have love, I am nothing at all. 3 Suppose I give everything I
have to poor people. And suppose I give myself over to a difficult life so I
can brag. If I don’t have love, I get nothing at all.

Luke 10:41-42
“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset
about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better , and it will
not be taken away from her.”
Hebrews 1:1-2
In the past God spoke to our
forefathers through the prophets at many times and various ways, but in these
last days he has spoken to us by his
Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and though whom he made the
universe.
Psalm 32:8 NASB
I will instruct you and
teach you in the way which you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon
you.
Daily Journal/Thoughts/ Prayers (my perspectives
and/or feelings):
Thank you, Jesus, for another new
day. Although much on this mind that really
is not even mine to carry. But is so
close it almost has to be to a sense.
Thinking of the healing that is so
necessary for family, friends, loved ones and so many connections. Healing not so much in the sense of
physical. Although for some they let
their anxieties and stress of the world make them physically sick. But
that of direction, emotion, and of the littles that look up to them. How unfair near or far it is for a child in
this world we live.
They are either never going to survive
if needed because of too much entitlement or privilege or they are being ripped
off daily and carrying the burdens of the adults that are supposed to care and
be there for them.
Yes, we all have our own way of handling
things. And yes, I know my own family
when I was a young mother I yelled allot.
And yes, as a grandparent when I see my family sometime interacting, I
cringe. Wondering was that because
of me why perhaps somedays it seems like nothing goes right or is a fire drill
with screaming and delegating authorities.
Crazy to think of how badly those
things are never said come out when a child just wants to be loved by their
parent. Sometimes just to be held.
That part I can identify
with. Never having parents, I was on
both sides of that coin. As a young
child a touch me not and as a young adult seeking love and wanting to be held
just by that one that would hold me forever.
As an adult I love and sometimes demand my hugs from certain loved one’s. While all the others I hold tightly in my
heart. Yet still then and now if anyone were to look
at me or touch me with out invitation then I would strike out. Now I just stay away from people. Or so I think.
These thoughts: to know there are
even people in the world that would disrespect anyone not in mutual agreement
to think such truths.
The world is a crazy place where
many just do what they do when they want to do it and never look back or if
they do never feel bad about what they do when it hurts others.
Reminded today to stop letting
these thoughts sometimes sadden me and rob me from what blessings lay ahead in
anytime given.
As I spend time wondering why
things are the way they are near or far in the world. Or why it has to be a certain way. I am reminded to stop allowing negativity to
take up free rent in this head and ultimately down into my spirit.
As I walk out, and the mockingbird
sings good morning I am aware that not even the birds have worry.
Life just is what it is until its
not. Somethings are beautiful and fill
us up while others take away. How we
must do or best to keep our emotional and physical bank accounts full or at least
not over drawn and when they become that way.
Just like finances we need to do whatever it takes to gain the eternal peace
and fills us back up.
Everything in this world is
temporal and to be the Martha in every story, always scurrying around trying to
get things done because they are supposed to matter. And not the Mary; seeking peace, knowledge
and being filled with such abundant wisdom of love. Well, it takes work.
Not everything is something and
sometimes nothing is everything.
There will always be something or
someone out there reminding us of our weaknesses or not good enough for what
the world says should be. There will
always be good and evil and well the trolls and wolves that prey on what they
can consume next. A troll will always
be a troll and the wolves will always appear as something or someone else until
they are put down or fully become extinct.
Unfortunately, until Jesus comes
back and its time; I think we all need to learn from those that have come
already and really protect our hearts, our health, our very being. Not living in a bubble or with anger or hate
and malice for anything or everything that would of, should of could of. But learn how to daily die to we and feelings
and give it over to the one who went to the cross.
The one that allows us to sit as His
feet and listen, learn, and grow forward in strength, courage, and wisdom beyond
anything we can possibly explain in human speak; and make it really
understandable. We all have to experience
and get there in our own time, in our own wants and needs. We have to seek Christ into our lives
ourselves.
No one in a church building can do
it for you. No one in prayer can do it
for you. Prayer matters absolutely. But we cannot force anyone to call upon the
name of the Lord. We cannot force anyone
to love us. We cannot force anyone to be
what they are not.
There is allot of to do, allot to
learn, allot to recover where we thought something was as it should be, and we
find out how far off we really were.
To not feel the pains of other
actions when they are overwhelmed by the layers that have them bursting with
anxiety, hurts, anger. Well, we all
have our own perspectives of how or what we feel or how or what others should feel.
Just know what is real for one soul
is not exactly the same for the other.
Not everything we see, hear, or read has the same real meaning for the
next person. I personally think that
is why it is so cool for things like biblegateway.com to allow so many
different perceptions or views of any one chapter and verse in the bible. Perception
and perspective is everything in how our day is going to go.
So rise up and know the one small
truth within the illusion of control is that is if God allowed you back up
today; you matter. There is much to be
done, seen, heard. But none will matter
if we are not ready to dare and make a difference. Dare to fill our own emotional bank accounts,
physical beings and even financial accounts
with positive growth that shows light and not panic or darkness.
We get to choose! Maybe not for that other person, maybe we
have been blessed with being the keeper and helper. Who knows?
Maybe we cannot choose and make someone not be mean, hateful, always on
fire with issues or negativity. But we
can choose with what we allow to stay within our view, hearing and being. We get to choose if we will start feeling
their hurts, habits, hang-ups or grow our own.
Or if we will believe there is so
much more in us that our worth depends on us finding light in every situation and
if we cannot find one; be our best to be one.
Even if it’s a flicker.
I personally believe in the God of
all creation; I believe he sent his only son; Jesus Christ!
I believe and fell in love with
all that Jesus came for, was, and still is.
I believe in all the I have been forgiven for, all that I have been saved
from; even when I sometimes still hang on the edge trying to believe that one
perfect thing, or person exists and shares the same thoughts, wants, love for
humanity. Forgetting at times its
okay to believe that just not replace Christ with who you believe they are. Not be surprised by when you let them down
or they let you down.
Not be surprised when sometimes
even when you knew the truth you wanted to believe in them so much more that
you set yourself up for what the world considers failures.
Its all okay to not be okay. As long as we know to whom we really belong
and whom we were created for and acknowledge, stop, watch, and listen; most of
all stop complaining and finding faults in everything, everyone else around
us. Because they are not living up to
what we think should be.
If you want to make a
difference. Dare to step out, step up
and be the action, the light, the lesson.
Stop expecting everything and everyone else to be and do it for you. When you hide behind whatever and not do it
yourself.
Stop forcing your feelings into
and onto others. Stop making babies and the
littles of this world suffer for who you are.
Give it all back to God. Meet Jesus right where you are and fight
with Him. Scream at Him. Demand He show you the way. Then watch, read, listen and Be the one
thing you so want everything and everyone else to be.
You alone have to learn when you
hold tighter to anyone in this world or anything of the world or when let go.
Stop with your gossip, slander, misdeeds,
and actions just because you can. I
am no judge, hurt a lot when it comes to those, I really care about to see the
great misfortunes we have control to get out of or never be within the first
place. But bottom line is we will all
be at the crossroad gates in the end and we all will be judged and know our
final eternal destiny.
Be it in heaven, Gods enormous house,
or pure hell where we burn over and over.
I personally know what it is that
comes out of this mind maze and all the proof that I have lived through to know
how I can have such peace deep inside.
Even when it hurts for what is around me, what I myself have lived through or all that
I watch so many I care for choose.
Humanity was created for more that
what we can give or take and there is nothing in this world worth more than
that of who you were created to be in the image and eyes of God.
Do not let negative take up free
rent in any part of your being. Do not
believe you have to be anything you are not.
When someone hurts you, lets you
down or has lied to you and are not who they say they were or would do, be what
they said. That reflects them alone.
Get back up, brush off. Tell God thank you for the lesson and please
call upon Jesus and allow Him to help guide you through the remaining days you are
given. Know you are here you are
blessed because of Christ alone.
Thank you, Lord, for the mind maze
you allow to pour out, being it triggers from worldly trolls and people trying
to steal and be someone or something they are not. Or just everything on any given day we are
allowed to experience.
Please come, heal this land. Heal me and my family and all my connections
for whatever demons are whispering in our ears. Shine the light and show us the way, the
will of how and what mercy and grace truly should be.
If not; be our strength, our
courage and all it takes to get back up and keep fighting forward in you, with
you and for you.
Thank you for another day.
