John 13
verse 34 - Love is shown true in action. how much do i struggle to do this? To love others like Jesus lis impossible, I can never do it perfectly as I cave in too much out of inconvenience. I guess the longer I serve Cheil the more I get tiresome of wholesome and boring people. It's ironic and creates self deprecation in my faith, making me think will God keep His promises and provide me with greater contentment in Him?
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
ReplyDelete8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
- Phil.4:4-9
fix your eyes not on worthless, worldly, or perishing things, but fix your eyes on that which is TRUE. NOBLE. RIGHT. PURE. LOVELY. ADMIRABLE... EXCELLENT... PRAISEWORTHY...
what the world deems as "wholesome and boring", the Lord Jesus looks upon with great joy and delight.
fix your eyes brother Conrad!!! on that which is heavenly!
