Quick shout out that my fur boys are 7 months old today. They are so cute!! Well remember I made a promise I would learn a new verse a week? Well in my weekly women's ministry they have instructed us to learn and memorize 1 Corinthians 13:1-8a. I decided I would take the challenge and do it. So this morning with my husband's coaching, I began. I first recited it word for word. Then stopped to research whatever I did not understand. Then I meditated on its meaning so I could apply it to life so I could understand it. It then flowed and became easier for me. So this morning, I learned and memorized verses 1 through 3. It does take time and I am not going to over do it. A girl recited it all 2 weeks ago and I was so impressed by that. It is a beautiful chapter and part of many wedding vows. All about love and without it, we are nothing. That does not mean without the love of a man or woman, we are nothing. No!!!!!! We are complete with God whether we are married OR single!!!!!!!!!! Don't get me started on that whole subject. God would want us all to have someone to love and share our lives with but it is not every single person's destiny. I don't know why but it just isn't. It saddens me to see young women and even grown women think they are less or not complete because they are not in love with someone. God speaks of love in everything. WE all love someone. It could be your dog or cat. The scripture recites that we could have faith to move a mountain but without love, we are nothing. We could have the gifts of tongues, but without love, it is just noise. We could have given all of our possessions to the poor, but without love, we gain nothing. Love is a gift from God and a commandment from God. Love you neighbor, love your enemy! Just simply..........love. Amen.
1 Corinthians 13: 1-31. If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
2. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have faith that can move mountains but have not love, I am nothing.
3. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
