(no subject)
Discretion: This will be an entry of verses of emotions, revelations, and ponderings I could not have put into words otherwise. Read it at will, but I encourage you, for even if you do not believe, it'll give you something in which to think:
"Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue, but in actions and in truth."
- 1 John 3:18
" Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as Christ God forgave you."
- Ephesians 4:32
--------
Jamie, this is for you:
"You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, tooth for tooth,' but I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you."
- Matthew 5:38-42
"Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, 'Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?' Jesus answered, 'I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.'"
- Matthew 18:21-22
"Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins."
- 1 Peter 4:8
J, I love you and admire you. Keep going.
--------
This is for me.
"But first seek His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
- Matthew 6:33
"I have been crucified in Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!"
- Galations 2:20-21
"He well yet fill your mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy."
- Job 8:21
Finally:
[[The end will justify the pain it took to get us there.]]
Okay, thanks =)
