It's
only because of HIS amazing grace and mercy that I stand.
1 Corinthians 13
The
Way of Love
If
I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy
but don't love,
I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate.
If I speak God's Word with power, revealing
all his mysteries and making everything plain
as day,
and if I have faith that says to a mountain,
"Jump," and it jumps, but I don't
love, I'm nothing.
If
I give everything I own to the poor and even
go to the stake to be burned as a martyr,
but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere.
So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and
what I do, I'm bankrupt without love.
Love never gives up. Love cares more for others
than for self. Love doesn't want what it doesn't
have. Love doesn't strut, Doesn't have a swelled
head, Doesn't force itself on others,
Isn't always "me first," Doesn't fly
off the handle,
Doesn't keep score of the sins of others, Doesn't
revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, Puts
up with anything,
Trusts God always, Always looks for the best,
Never looks back, But keeps going to the end.

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in
the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and
with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
Matthew 7:1-2 (New International
Version)
Anyone who sets himself up as "religious"
by talking a good game is self-deceived. This kind of
religion is hot air and only hot air. Real religion,
the kind that passes muster before God the Father, is
this: Reach out to the homeless and loveless in their
plight, and guard against corruption from the godless
world.
James 1:26-27 (The Message)
Renew
your mind so your heart opens!
Do
not love the world or anything in the world.
If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father
is not in him. For everything in the world—the
cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes
and the boasting of what he has and does— comes
not from the Father but from the world. The
world and its desires pass away, but the man
who does the will of God lives forever.
1 John 2:15-17 (New International Version)
Do
not conform any longer to the pattern of this
world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Then you will be able to test and approve what
God's will is -
his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12:2.
