The one thing we all need...

LOVE...Love is the key to life because God is love. Without Him it's truly hard to live it. When I think about love it reminds me of the story of the woman who committed adultery. The Bible talks about how the men wanted to stone her for her sin. But God sent His son Jesus into the world to be an example of how to handle situations like this...how to love. Jesus saw what these men were doing and He lead by example by showing the woman forgiveness and allowing her to walk away with a clean slate and a kind word to "go and sin no more" (John 8:11). Who says we don't serve a God of second chances? This is the kind of love we must learn to express to others.

Holding grudges is clearly NOT  the way to go. Jesus also showed love to the men in this story. He simply helped them by allowing them to "check" themselves. "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her"(John 8:7).  It was like saying "think about it guys, do you wanna get stoned too?...I thought not". What as awesome God we serve.

We must learn to check ourselves before we start pointing the finger at others, cause remember, there are three pointing back at you.
Remember: 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 ¹ Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. ² And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. ³ And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned,^[a] but have not love, it profits me nothing.


Here is the true definition of love:

1 Corinthians 13

The Greatest Gift

 ⁴ Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; ⁵ does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; ⁶ does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; ⁷ bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
⁸ Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. ⁹ For we know in part and we prophesy in part. ¹⁰ But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.
¹¹ When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. ¹² For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
¹³ And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.


LET'S BELIEVE IT, RECEIVE IT AND LIVE IT...:)
