Tuesday, January 2, 2007 - It Always Protects, Always Trusts, Always Hopes, Always Perseveres
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. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
(1 Corinthians 13)
One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, "Of all the commandments, which is the most important?"
"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. 'The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'
There is no commandment greater than these."
(Mark 12:28-31)
Love never fails.

Songs i can SORTA do but i would rather sing them. i think the Lord wants me to use my voice too... we shall see were he leads me...

Well, K, the Bible has 66 books. It's not that hard to find a verse or passage for everyday. Although, I do have my favorites and I'm prone to repeating myself. lol.
I read my Bible everyday, yes. I'm trying to start reading it more than once a day. But I usually read it in the mornings.
Hey, whatever you believe God's calling you to do, Go for it! But, always be sure that your praying about it.
