Daily Words of Hope
First Corinthians Chapter 13 talks about love in a very descriptive manner, the apostle Paul characterizes love in many ways, patient, kind, long suffering, nonjudgmental, but even the apostle Paul was unable to define love with one word. But let’s say that we know that love at its minimum is patient, kind and nonjudgmental.
From the children’s hymn we know that Jesus loves us but we often view God as this mean person judging us from afar, who uses every opportunity to scold us, but if God loves us, then we should find peace knowing that God is patient, kind and long suffering.
Sometimes it is hard for us to think of God as loving because we encounter people in our lives that represent everything but a loving spirit, but we should not let these people dictate our views of God, self and humanity.
God’s love for us is patient kind and long suffering, simply God will stick with you even when you feel Unlovable. God’s patient Love shouldn’t be an excuse to live lives that’s hurt others and ourselves. Be wise don’t take advantage of God’s love. We shouldn’t live good lives, because of fear only. Yes, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom but not the end.
As Paul stated the greatest of all is Love. Live right because you Love God, yourself and others. Push forward regardless of your mistakes because you understand that God’s love is patient and one mistake wouldn’t cause God to give up on you.
The Takeaway
Love is Powerful; use its power to live a better life.
Daily Words of Hope
Trust in Him who will not leave you
Whatsoever years may bring
If by earthly friends forsaken
Still more closely to him cling
But you’ve got to hold
As the timeless words of the hymn “Hold to God’s Unchanging Hand” assures us that we have a friend that will be there with us at all times. We only have one responsibility, “HOLD ON”. Lord give me the strength hold on to your unchanging hand’s even when letting go seems easier. (Min Mike)

I was reading one of my favorite books of the Bible as it pertains to being a leader, the Book of James and found a passage of scripture that speaks for itself. We often hear or talk about the importance of forgiveness, but the act of forgiving is powerful to save a life. It transforms the forgiver and the forgiven.
Take Away
Forgiveness is never easy, but it offers freedom from the bondage of hurt, guilt, regret and anger. Forgiveness allows our heart more room to love!!!. Jesus forgave those that persecuted him and saved millions. Choose to forgive someone and possibly save a life.
Scripture
James 3: 13-18
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. 14 But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. 15 Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. 16For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.
17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. 18 Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.
