Love the deciding factor!!! It will take you farther than you could imagine And we know that God cause all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28 Opreating on a different stander and princlpe than the worlds. “Bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.”Colo.3:13 “The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” (1 Sam. 16:7)

Your path to a better well-being starts here! Eph. 3:20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us. What’s that power that’s supposed to be taking place in our lives? I thought He was speaking about faith, faith is a part of it!

The greatest of these; 1Cor. 13:13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. Verse 8; love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether they are tongues; they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. Abide: to live, or dwell by, is to accept or act in accordance with rule, decision, or recommendation. Love is the anchor. It’s a person or thing that provides stability or confidence in an otherwise uncertain situation.

To be strengthen! Eph. 3:14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthen with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height ~ to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able; now we have taken off the resrenghts! “Being rooted and grounded in love, may comprehend (the more rooted and grounded I am the more I can comprehend) width, lenght, depth height, then I come to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge Then I begin to be filled with all the fullness of God. ( I can’t trust no one I love)

I have become, I am nothing, it profits me nothing 1Cor. 13:1-3, though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so I could move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. John 6:33 “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing.” 1 Tim. 4:8 “for bodily discipline is only of little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.”

Becoming someone that profits me and others! 1Cor. 13:4-7, love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does behave rudley, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hope all things, endures all things. ‘Proverbs 10:12 Hatred stirs up strife, But love covers all transgressions. 1Pet, 2:23 and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously; Rom. 12:14 Bless those who persecute you, who are cruel in their attitude toward you, bless and do not curse them. “It never fails” Many things can pollute the waters of our hearts, especially the bitterness, disappointment and frustration caused by what we see and hear coming from others.

No fear in love! 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love cast out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. 2 Tim. 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and a sound mind. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. Rom. 12:2 We can guard our hearts from it all by lifting our vision higher...keeping our hands on the plow and like Jesus, staying busy about the Father’s business.

Right motivated, right heart, right direction! Mark 11:23,24 “For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be moved and be cast into sea, and does not doubt in heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. “Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them”. (vs. 25) Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in heaven will also forgive you your transgressions. Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time. Casting all your care upon Him for He cares for you. (1 Pet. 5:6,7)

Watch and Pray Matthew 26:41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. Proverbs 4:23,24 “Watch over your heart with all diligence, for from it flow the springs of life.” Put away from you a deceitful mouth, And put devious speech far from you. Phil. 4:6,7 “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. John 10:27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me;

Open heart to do not take! Proverbs 15:8, the sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, But the prayer of the upright is His delight. Psalm 139:23,24 “Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me and know my anxious thoughts: And see if there be any hurtful way in me, And lead me in the everlasting way. This is speaking of a person that has a twisted view of God. Some how he thinks he will gain favor with God. See prayer doesn’t give me favor with God, I already have it. It brings me to hear what His saying and where He’s going!

My thoughts, your thoughts, My ways,your ways! John 5:30 “ I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me. Jeremiah 33:3 “Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and might things; which, which you do not know.” Isaiah 55:8 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” declares the Lord. We start this leason with Eph. 3:20 He will do exceeding abundantly all we could ask and image according to the power that works in us!

Free from any flaw or defect in condition or quality; faultless Romans 12:9-12, Let love be without hypocrisy, abhor what is evil, cling to what is good. Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another, not lagging in diligence, fervent spirit, serving the Lord, rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer! Each time we have an opportunity to open fire, either in criticism of another or defense from another and don’t we are becoming more like Jeus. It is a journey, but we are getting there.
