P
ohkay i was thinkin back to before school let out for the christmas break and i remember a litting think in english we had to do and the correct thing was "it is better to give than to recieve" and then some one make a smart eliky mark saying, no i would rather recieve than give!"
and with that said it kinda hit me, showing how selfish our world has come to be, like we have so many wants and so called needs for the latest toy, a cell phone, or even money.
well i would like to spread a few bible verses with you in this post
this post is on Love,
1 Corinthians 13:4-7, 13
-"love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, never haughty or selfish or rude. Love does not demand its own way. It is not irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong. It is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out. If you love someone, you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost. You will always believe in him , always expect the best of him, and always stand your ground in defending him... there are three things that remain---faith, hope and love --- and the greatest of these is love
ohkay a big verse i know but lets break it down from the sentences
"love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious never boastful or proud, never haughty or selfish or rude."
ohkay for example your love of money may bring jealousy among your friends, or maybe even anger, and you will be proud of the money your money or even selfishness may come upon due to money or the newest toy.
"It is not irritable or touchy."
whenever you have money you want to get your hands all over it am i right? same goes for the newest toy..
" It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong."
have you ever lost a friend because of money and held a grudge or maybe they've got a grudge on you, and you know when people waste money as if they don't care
"It is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out."
now here it says it is never glad about injustice, do you feel good after you know you made a bad investment? no you probley dont.. but you feel great when you know its gone to a good cause.
If you love someone, you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost."
now this sentence talks about if you love someone, now think if that instead of putting someone you put something? so you would be loyal to that instead of your savior or companion?
You will always believe in him , always expect the best of him, and always stand your ground in defending him... there are three things that remain---faith, hope and love --- and the greatest of these is love
here i believe it is talking about Jesus, being the him, now do he talks about having faith, hope and love, the largest is love, because your love of something can grow to an enormous amount and take over your thought about god
now here are a few verses on Money... (this could be items also)
Proverbs 15:27
-"dishonest money brings grief to all the family, but hating bribes brings happiness"
i belive this means that having money can bring grief to all of your family, but lets say your family never once bribed each other into doing something, for some of us a loved one may still be alive, or maybe your cousins may not be bankrupt, no telling what .
Luke 16:13
-"For neither you nor anyone else can serve two masters. You will hate one and show loyalty to the other, or else the other way around --- you will be enthusiastic about one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money."
this verse means a lot about this topic about how you can not serve you entire life begging for more money, you have to praise god fourth he should be your one and only master!
Timothy 6:10
-" For the love of money is the first step toward all kinds of sin."
now is this not true, one who give his money away to charities does not love it enough to keep it for himself and be selfish, but one who does keep it for himself can end up sinning all kinds of sin
Proverbs 10:22
-"The Lord's blessing is our greatest wealth. All our work adds nothing to it!"
now here it says the lord's blessing is our GREATEST wealth over all and our simple work adds nothing to it!
Luke 12:22-23, 31
-"don't worry about whether you have enough food to eat or clothes to wear. For life consists of far more than food and clothes ... [The Father] well always give you all you need from day to day if you will make the Kingdom of God your primary concern."
this tells me STOP WORRYING about our simple human needs! just look up towards the Kingdom of God and make it your primary concern!!
With that I will end this session... For now anyways
