Humbled..

Proverbs 10:12
Hatred stirs up dissension, but love covers over all wrongs.

1 Corinthians 13:1-8a and 13
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

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....And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

--I asked Him for patience last night. To help me understand others when I can't seem too and to help me forgive those who have angered me. I wrote off my anger last night towards men who don't even deserve a moment of my thought. They are of the world...what did I really except anyways?

I am humbled at this moment - who am I to serve others? I serve one..I serve God. There is nothing more important than that.

I asked Him to help others understand me, to realize that love is all those things above but they must be shared. I asked Him to shower us all in His love and give us hope to do this the way we should.

I am forever grateful that He is there as He is..without him there would be nothing in this life but an empty shell..I continue to grow in awe more and more, and I still continue to fall. But I get back up with His help and move forward, I learn to forgive, I learn to listen, and while I still have much to learn..I know His patience.
