Today's scripture 10/13/09

[April2]

"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." Ephesians 4:29-32

This kind of goes along with the last scripture I gave you all, Ephesians 4:2-3. I was given these two scriptures last night and they just really hit me. This is how God wants us to be, loving, kind, compassionate, forgiving. When we say and do mean things and hurt each other it actually grieves the Holy Spirit who is in us. What an awful thought! I sure don't want to grieve Him. I never thought about it quite like this before until I was given these passages.

This is how God wants us to treat each other. God really spoke to me through these two scriptures. I think every marriage should study these two scriptures and post them somewhere to remember. That's what I'm going to do.

[Judy246]

“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 preserves. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. For now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”

- 1 Corinthians 13:4-1

Amen!!!

Just think the one we love the most may be the one we treat the worst.
That scripture is perfect for our marriages .........................
