1 Corinthians 13:1-8

Today's message is about Biblical love.  Again, my computer won't let me paste anything from the original message by Dr. Stanley. 

The apostle Paul discusses the ideal of how to love others.  When I learned this passage, I struggled with most of it, especially the part about not keeping a record of wrongs.  I was great at remembering everything someone had done to hurt me, especially my husband.  Poor guy. 

As I grow in the Lord, my attitude and heart have been healed from childhood issues, and I am better able to love unonditionally, as the passage describes.  I sometimes slip back, but not like I used to.

If you wish to read Dr. Stanley's message, here is a link that should take you to it.

Poor little guy! Hope he's on the mend soon!

Today's message won't paste, so I will improvise.  It is based on Romans 8:31-39.  It is one of my favorite passages, because it discusses the inseparable relationship we have with the Lord.  Regardless of anything we do, or others do, including Satan, we can't be separated from the Lord.  Once we are adopted into His family, we are His forever.

This was so hard for me to grasp in my early days of walking with the Lord.  Relationships here on earth end.  People die, move away, walk away, end marriages, become estranged.  Yet, that does not happen with God.  He is our Abba, Daddy, and He is consistent and never ending in His love.  It is like we are super-glued to Him for eternity.

I am grateful for this, because I have struggled with depression lately, and find this very comforting.

Hugs,
