A friend sent these to me. I figured that I'd do what I do best and analize them and give what I think about them. I've always been a fan of what the Bible teaches, as far as personal wellness goes, not the whole cult-like god worshiping part, but the ideas behind the teachings of being a good person... Anyway, here they are:
Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.
Ephesians 4:2
--I think this one can't really be interpreted very far from what it says. Be patient. Do not be harsh or rude, and act with togetherness always. this pretty much applies to me in more than one way with more than one person. Meh. I try.
There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
1 John 4:18
--Be confident in your decisions and the decisions of others. Trust and do not fear, do not cower or scare. Friendships built with fear are bound to fail because there is no fear in love.
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.
Romans 12:9
--This one is too obvious for me to even want to explain it. Keep what if good to you close to you. "Surround yourself with love." Duh.
ANNDNDDDD THE MOST FAMOUS AND MY FAVORITE!! MWAHAHHAHAAH...
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
--Take it as you will. This one is prone to apply differently to different people.
