ali's Corner. [More About Love]

Wow.
During my quiet time this morning.
God showed me the exact verse in the bible
that I have recently striven to live by everyday.
I didn't even know it was here.

I have always known it was God who
taught me to live this way.
But more so that he gave me the ability to.
I was not this loving of a person before.

It's wonderful to see in writing
the exact words he wants to see
portrayed in my everyday actions.

Romans 12: 9-21

Love

Love must be sincere.
Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.
Be devoted to one another
in brotherly love.
Honor one another above yourselves.
Never be lacking in zeal,
but keep your spiritual fervor,
serving the Lord.
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction,
faithful in prayer.
Share with God's people who
are in need.
Practice hospitality.

Bless those who persecute you;
bless and do not curse.
Rejoice with those who rejoice;
mourn with those who mourn.
Live in harmony with one another.
Do not be proud, but
be willing to associate with people
of low position.
Do not be conceited.

Do not repay anyone evil for evil.
Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody.
If it is possible as far as it depends on you,
live at peace with everyone.

Do not take revenge,
my friends
but leave room for God's wrath,
for it is written:
"It is mine to avenge;
I will repay,"
says the Lord.

On the contrary:

"If your enemy is hungry,
feed him;
if he is thirsty,
give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap
burning coals on his head."

Do not be overcome by evil,
but overcome evil with good.

This gives me more reason to keep living the way I already and trying to.
AMEN!!!!
