Today while sitting in the waiting room at the acupuncturist, I was reading 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 and had a thought...
Humor me and read the following...
4 Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag, and it is not proud.5 Love is not rude, is not selfish, and does not get upset with others. Love does not count up wrongs that have been done. 6Love takes no pleasure in evil but rejoices over the truth. 7 Love patiently accepts all things. It always trusts, always hopes, and always endures.
Interesting right? One of the most known and common scriptures in the bible- a verse that is used at weddings-- not really thought of being used on a daily basis. But what would this verse be like if used on a daily basis- what would it look like? Where would you even begin?
Try this...
Insert YOUR NAME wherever it says "love" (the blank spots)-- here's what it would look like...
4 ___________is patient, _________ is kind. _________does not envy, _________does not boast, ________is not proud. 5 ___________does not dishonor others, ___________is not self-seeking, _________is not easily angered, ___________keeps no record of wrongs.6 ____________does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 ___________always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
When you ask Jesus to come into your heart-- His love blossoms inside you- God lives inside you and His love illuminates through you and in you -- therefore Love is God, God is Love, and You are God's Love & He is your Love. YOU ARE LOVE.
~ L O V E ~ L O V E ~ L O V E ~
Hmmmm... takes a different spin now doesn't it?! You could walk that everyday~ who would have thought... 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 not only for the alter.
Now try it!! Read it out loud... really read it with your name inserted. What an uplifting difference this makes!!
Take care of you :)
~As a side note... I know everyone who reads might not have a relationship with God-- & that's okay-- maybe you have had one and "walked away" or know Him but don't really KNOW Him & love Him as your own. I encourage you to seek Him-- just ask Him to help you live day to day- allow Him to walk beside you, and love on you.~ I'm not preaching at ya-- I just want to lift ya up :)
