1 Cor. 13 for a Friend

-

        Here is another version of the Love Chapter only it is geared towards friends.

        Love is patient. - Do I give them enough time to answer back or get things done before we hang out?

         Love is kind. - Do I have a servant's heart towards them?

         Love is not jealous. - Do I like what my friends have or what they are doing? Do I think "if only"?

         Love is not boastful. - Am I prideful when I share my ideas or life with them? Am I too prideful to share with them?

         Love is not proud. - Do I ask for help or advice when I need it? Do I let them live my life with me?

          Love is not rude. - Do I watch what I say about them to other people and when I'm around them about other people?

          Love does not demand it's own ways. - Do I respect their dreams and beliefs and culture? Am I giving back what I take?

           Love is not easily angered. - Do I get mad when they don't have time to spend with me right now or tells me the truth when I ask them?

           Love keeps no records of wrongs. - Am I forgiving when I need to be?

            Love does not delight in evil but rejoices when truth wins out. - Am I sad when my friend is sad and rejoice with my friend when they rejoice?

             Love protects. - Am I there to keep my friend and their dreams safe?

              Love hopes. - Am I there to believe in and with my friend during their hard times? Do I push them through those times?

                Love trusts. - Do I trust my friends enough to tell them anything and everything?

                Love perseveres. - Do I put my friend to the best of their abilities and beyond?

                 Now how neat would it be to compare the two that I did on my blog and then do a couple of your own for whoever. It is just a good thing to look back on when having a hard time or day with people. I was thinking about doing one for family so that might be on here next month sometime. I was really thinking about a certain friend on this one but then I thought it would be neat to make it more in general and put it on here but you could even pick like 2 certain people and do it.   
                 That's your homework from me and it would be neat if I could get some comments back doing that. Maybe a few of the statements not all of them because then that would be too long. Let's do this! Make it my first interactive entry!

5 Meaningful Words

-
         Humble. Grace. Trust. Love. Faith. Those are the 5 meaningful words in my spiritual life right now. I am learning how to act with and on everyone of them. God has shown me so much Grace and Love that I need to pass it on to others. With those two words the words humble, Trust, and Faith gets me too. Something else these words have in common is they help take away discontentment.           You are so humble that God could love a person like you and be a part of His Bigger Plan. He loved you enough to give you His Grace and we should take it humbly. We don't deserve it at all. It is His gift to us. We just to have have the faith that He can and will use us for Him.           Trust is also something you have to learn daily. It is a feeling. We have to remember to put these words into our daily lives or the devil can get ahold of us. Yes, we are little and weak but God loves us enough to "fix" us to where ...
