1 Corinthians 13:3b
i was reflecting on my teachings of the day, taken off the book "A Purpose Driven Life" by Rick Warren. he is the founding pastor of Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, California, one of America's largest and best-known churches.
my favourite verse is:
" No matter what i say, what i believe, and what i do. i'm bankrupt without love" 1 Corinthians 13:3b
why did Christ heal the 10 lepers?
not because of sympathy but He wanted them to enter a relationship with Him. He wanted to open their eyes to the reality of life with God so that they would desire more of this life and follow him. Jesus heals not only to show how much he loves us but also to invite us into deeper fellowship with him. He wants to make us into his messengers, healed and restored in his image, reflecting his power to everyone around us.
the tunnel of conflict is the passageway to intimacy in any relationship.
frankness is not a license to say anything you want, whatever you want and whenever you want. thoughtless words leaves lasting wounds. i have sinned. God Almighty, please forgive me. may The Lord help me speak with tact. Amen.
