There's a lot in this one. Sometimes they hit my like a ton of bricks.
4 They are surprised that you do not join them in their reckless, wild living, and they heap abuse on you.
I like this one. Some of the GM fellas tease me for the things I won't do with them. I can remember being teased in school, for being the "Christian kid." I think that's some of what Max is going thru right now. I should definitely show him this!
8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.
10 Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of Gods grace in its various forms.
I find this verse to be comforting, in some way. It re-assures me that if I treat others with love and compassion, that will make up for a lot of my short-comings........I like it. I think that's a great goal. I can see sitting at someone's funneral, and hearing, "he wasn't perfect, but jeez, what a great, loving guy".
Theres more in this one....but, I'll stop there, and leave the rest to you.
have a good one today!
your right there is a ton in this one, it seems like every verse has a clear statement to follow. I liked 8 & 10 the best but also 11...If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised...
ReplyDeleteLeverage the gifts God gives you and his strength to help him shine whenever you serve.
