“[Love] 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.”
- 1 Corinthians 13:1-3
there's a song that goes "all you need is love! love is all you need! love is a very important concept for even for the people of the non believers. being Christians gives you a new boundary of love... God's love is amazing and if we don't love then we don't do anything. this verse just shares about how important love is... God's love is important and his love sets us free. so if we don't love each other then we aren't doing anything except just making meaningless noise
you can have the most humble giving heart and faith that can do miraculous things but if you don't love... you are nothing... that is a strong word... sometimes there are many people in churches who is ready to serve and ready to lead and has strong faith... but if they can't love... they can't lead anyone...
love is the most important thing in our lives... as fellow christian brother and sisters.... let's love....

Feb 8 - Matthew 5:43-45
"You have heard that it was said,
'Love your neighbor and hate your
enemy.' But I tell you: Love your
enemies and pray for those who
persecute you, that you may be sons
of your Father in heaven. He causes
his sun to rise on the evil and the good,
and sends rain on the righteous and the
unrighteous.”- Matthew 5:43-45
being christian is going against the crowd...
if your walking one way because you believe
in something... and 50 other people are walking
the other way... what would you do.. bump
shoulders with all the people going one way?
or just turn around and go with the crowd
most people would turn around but as Christians
we need to walk the way they believe in...
it's very important for us as Christians to do as
what we believe... love your enemies and pray
for them... it's what we need to do... we need to
love our enemy and we need to go the other way

enemy.' But I tell you: Love your

Feb 7 - Psalm 97:10
“Let those who love the LORD
hate evil, for he guards the lives
of his faithful ones and delivers
them from the hand of the wicked.”
- Psalm 97:10
this verse reminds me of the lord's prayer... everytime
i say the lord's prayer i'm reminded of God's love and
how much grace he gives us. God loves us... so if we love
God and we really mean it then we should hate evil...
we should hate evil by choice and we should live a life of
truthfulness with big smile in our face...
because God saves... our God is strong and he saves us
he will help us when we are down or when we're in trouble
God is faithful and if we're faithful to him... he will deliver...
hate evil, for he guards the lives
of his faithful ones and delivers
them from the hand of the wicked.”

Feb 4 - Psalm 33:4-5
“For the word of the LORD is right
and true; he is faithful in all he does.
The LORD loves righteousness and
justice; the earth is full of his unfailing
love.”- Psalm 33:4-5
every time i read this... it's so not what this world is... this world is full of hatred... full of corruption and just full of things that doesn't say anything about God... it's more about the world...
we can only serve God or the world... it's weird... being a christian is a lot harder then just loving the world. God loves righteousness and justice... in the world they are against many beliefs that christian find right... if we are in God's side... world will attack you... but God's on your side and that's the most important point... if we're in the world's side the world will welcome us and God will love us because God doesn't hate us... he loves every single one of his creation... but that love doesn't last for eternity... but God's love for Christians does... we belong to be with him forever...
God is always faithful and God will always go through with his plans... so believe in him...

Feb 3 - Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and active.
Sharper than any double-edged sword,
it penetrates even to dividing soul and
spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the
thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
- Hebrews 4:12
The bible is stronger then most people think. sometimes people say that bible is just a book... but it's so much more then just a book and it's the word of God... and it's powerful. sometimes you read the bible and it just... hits you... wow... sometimes it's just weird that the bible is thousands and thousands of years old and it's still valid... and sometimes it's just awesome the power of this book...
it's amazing how amazing our God is... and his words are the bible...

Feb 2 - Psalm 59:16
“But I will sing of your strength,
in the morning I will sing of your
love; for you are my fortress, my
refuge in times of trouble.”
-Psalm 59:16
there are so much times when we wake up in the morning
and get angry... because we are tired... we do things like
that because we are human but in the morning we should
glad that God made us and and he is our fortress...
Sometimes we say that if there is trouble we figure things
out but i think it's always God that pulls us out... and it's
very important to rely on God and love him with all our
heart...

Feb 1 - Deuteronomy 6:4-5
“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God,
the LORD is one. Love the LORD your
God with all your heart and with all your
soul and with all your strength.”
- Deuteronomy 6:4-5
Simple... isn't it...
Love the LORD with all your heart and with all your soul
and with all your strength...
why is it so hard to do so... why is it so hard to achieve
that? it is said that sometimes it's easier to say things then
to do things. specially the word Love... we can so easily say
I love you... to someone and completely be meaningless...
sometimes people say things so much but they never go
through with it... so let's love our God... with all our heart
and all our soul and all our strength...
I find myself comparing this to relationships... in relationships
there are many times when people say things just to get away
from things... why is it that people end up saying so much
but they don't mean anything they say?
we say "I LOVE YOU GOD!!!" then turn around and lie to people
treat people in a bad fashion and covet or such sins... would that
make that "I love you God!!" true? no... but it's what we do...
we tell God that we love him then we cheat on him with the
world... so let's start from the beginning... before we try to spread
this world let's mean what we say... and say
"I love you God with all my heart and all my soul and all my
strength..."
the LORD is one. Love the LORD your
God with all your heart and with all your
soul and with all your strength.”
- Deuteronomy 6:4-5
