Dear Di-ary….
Question: What is your favorite bible verse?
Submitted by Helen from CT
There are many Bible verses that resinate with me. But I think the one that stands out the most would be: 1 Corinthians - Chapter 13 - Verses 4-8
Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it
is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own
way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at
wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things,
believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away;
as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will
pass away.
This verse talks about LOVE. We all need to feel loved and show love to others. Love and kindness are the most important attributes we could have.
Think of all the people we love.
We love our parents, we love our children, we love our pets, we love our friends, we love our neighbors and the list goes on and on. To love someone and falling “in love” with someone are two different things.
I know I love many people but that doesn’t mean I am “in love” with them. BUT….no matter which love it is the Bible verse in Corinthians still holds true.
We all have our struggles and ups and downs and sometimes it is hard to show love. I know many times I have to step back and think about that person and remember that they may be having a bad day….just like I do at times….and try to be more patient and kind to them. And sometimes it is so HARD to love. But life is to short to be angry or upset….we only get this one time around and being angry is a waste of time.
Whenever I talk on the phone to my children, grandchildren, relatives and friends and we are saying goodbye I always say…”Love you.” It is a simple thing but means a great deal. Those two little words could turn their day around just by hearing “Love you.” And you never know if they may be the last words you may speak to each other….but you/they will always remember that you love them!
Get a little mushy today…hug someone dear and say “Love you!”
