C
Perfection, though I'm not there these show me where I'm meant to get to a state of but only by the grace of God can we all if we open our hearts.
As any sees I try to keep love at the forefront of people's minds that it is such that should govern our hearts in all we do and say. I get alot of opposition to that not here so much openly, though sometimes do but even in my sphere of people here where I am. Defending the faith, rebuking people, correcting doctrine ok I see truth in that but how quick we forget this scripture in James 3.
1My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
2For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
3Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
4Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, anywhere the governor decides.
5Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindles!
6And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
7For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed of mankind:
8But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
9Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the embodiment of
God.
10Out of the same mouth proceeds blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11Does a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
12Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
13Who is a wise man and imbued with knowledge among you? let him show out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
14But if all of you have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
15This wisdom descends not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
17But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be implored, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
