Love never fails
_____________

A Story :

During a devotional session at a conference, our leader asked us to read aloud 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, and substitute the word ( Jesus ) for ( Love ) it seemed so natural to say "Jesus suffers long and is kind; Jesus does not envy; Jesus does not parade himself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek his own ... Jesus never fails " .
Then our leader said , read the passage aloud and say your name instead of Jesus, " We laughed nervously at the suggestion. " I want you to begin now " the leader said. Quietly , haltingly I said the words that felt so untrue " ( My Name ) does not seek his own, is not provoked, thinks no evil ; does not rejoice iniquity, but rejoices in the truth ; bears all things, endures all things. ( My Name ) never fails "

The exercise caused me to ask, " How am I hindering God from expressing his love through me ? "

God longs to express his great heart of love for others through us . Will we allow him to do it ?


To Love our neighbors as ourselves is not an easy thing to do; So Lord, please show us how to love as we attempt to follow you .

( Living like Christ is Loving like God )

We All Matter

'...God has arranged the parts...just as he wanted them...' 1 Corinthians 12:18

Ever tried to complete a jigsaw puzzle with a piece missing? It changes the end result, doesn't it? In the church God is building today, everyone has a place. Paul writes, '...the whole building...fitted together, is growing...' (Ephesians 2:21 ). A bundle of sticks is stronger than a single twig. So, '...in Christ we...form one body, and each member belongs to all the others' (Romans 12:5 ). A non-serving Christian is a contradiction in terms.

In Nehemiah's day, the Tekoites were farmers who helped repair the wall, '...but their nobles would not put their shoulders to the work' (Nehemiah 3:5). Bricklaying wasn't part of their job description, so they let others do the heavy lifting. We all know people who subscribe to that philosophy! Never underestimate the significance of your assignment. '...parts...that seem...least important are...the most necessary' (1Corinthians12:22).

Think about who's more important: a world leader or a sanitation worker.

When Ronald Reagan was shot in 1981, although he was the leader of the free world, it was 'business as usual' for the nation. Conversely, when Philadelphia refuse collectors (Garbage collectors) went on strike the city descended into chaos as piles of rotting refuse built up everywhere.

The point is, you don't have to be a seminary graduate to pray and read the Bible, or a prophet to hear from God, or a specialist to minister to hurting people. To do great things for God, be faithful in little ones (Luke 16:10).

Until you are willing to serve time on the assembly line, God can't promote you to management

A Plea to Thou..

My tongue has lost its pace

but I'm still in your grace

I seem so happy...
but all is empty :(

I lost it all..

and my faith a bit shaky

I am drowned in countless sins

I've lost count

its not a prayer anymore

but the last plea of my heart

Save me because I lost it all

hold me tight or I may fall

O lord!!mend my soul

cleanse my heart..

glue it with your spirit

with no gaps or interstices..
