Dear God,
Oh dearz. Lord, help me learn to love even better. Help me see the opportunities and the doorways in the walls. Help me trust you when times are hard. Help me be smelly -- of life and love and You.
Love,
Me
I Cor 16
I love Paul. He's so much like Tom. Or should I say, Tom's a lot like Paul. He gets excited when people oppose him and he sees it as a huge doorway. I'd see it as a huge wall. That's great.
Verse 14 is so easy to memorize. It's the location that's hard haha. Do everything in love. Four words. Four words that, if obeyed and done, are very powerful. I Corinthians 16:14 Little harder to memorize, lol.
Well, Stephanas, Fortunatus and Achaicus, I recognize you. Sorta. No idea what you look like, but I give you props. :-P
Honestly, I am really looking forward to meeting Priscilla and Aquila! I hear they are hard core.
II Corinthians 1-2
If suffering is abundant, so is God's comfort.
Following Christ means that you might feel like you have the sentence of death written on your heart. But better to have temporary death written on your heart than eternal death.
Typical Paul. Make a traveling decision a sermon. No, actually, I'm sure it applied. He said he made those plans with careful prayer and thought, but he decided later against it. Or God did.
Jesus is our Yes.
Satan tries to make us not forgive each other, or love one another or anything. We need to be not unaware of his schemes.
DON"T BE A STINKY CHRISTIAN!! Or in this case, you might have to be stinky to some (aka Satan hee hee hee). Be a strong-smelling Christian -- Smelling of life and love and God.
