1Co 13:4  Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant

1Co 13:5  or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;

1Co 13:6  it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.

1Co 13:7  Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

1Co 13:8  Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.

 

1Co 13:4   El amor es paciente, es bondadoso. El amor no tiene envidia; el amor no es jactancioso, no es arrogante.

5    No se porta indecorosamente; no busca lo suyo, no se irrita, no toma en cuenta el mal recibido.

6    El amor no se regocija de la injusticia, sino que se alegra con la verdad.

7    Todo lo sufre, todo lo cree, todo lo espera, todo lo soporta.

8    El amor nunca deja de ser. Pero si hay dones de profeci'a, se acabara'n, si hay lenguas, cesara'n; si hay conocimiento, se acabara'.

 

                For me this is about the most convicting passage of the bible ever. It gives me an idea of what I should be, but I'm not. I laugh when I say "Anthony is patient, Anthony is kind". But the sad part is that is my goal but I am not. And the worst part is this, on my short time on earth I will NEVER be able to obtain the standard that love had set for me. But God knows this. He knows I'm not patient or kind and all the rest. But I don't think he cares at all. He still chose me to be his ambassador on this earth to point others to our Christ. And that’s the power of God's grace. He takes a sinner like me, places me into a country I've never been to, nor speak the language, surrounded by brothers and sisters in the same boat as me who have never known each other before, to show the Love of God to the people of Guatemala. And I can't do it. But God.

Mar 16:19   So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. Mar 16:20   And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.                     Today I was focusing on the resurrection of Christ. And the importance of it. Neil was speaking on it and it really hit me something. If the resurrection isn't portrayed than an all powerful God isn't portrayed. God said he will bruise the heel of the serpent (I believe is referencing satan) and that comes in the form of the resurrection. It's the , "even if you kill me I'll still come back. There is NOTHING you can do to beat me. And on top of everything I will use the people I died for to do my work as I command them." It's the biggest spiritual slap to face in the history of ever. Jesus gave satan the largest defeat that has ever been and now he has to live kn

1Pe 4:7   But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers.   1 Pedro 4:7    Ya se acerca el fin de todas las cosas. Asi' que, para orar bien, mante'nganse sobrios y con la mente despejada.                   This could be my last 5 seconds. But those 5 seconds just passed but the message I take from this is that I should never expect to live on for a long time. Live each day like it's my last. That doesn't mean be irresponsible but be zealous and have a fire that yearns for people to come to Christ right now. No body is guaranteed any time on this earth.   Lives are being lost not having been shown the love of Christ and no one has any promises of living to see the next day and does that hit my heart? I struggle to think that the sun has no guarantee to rise in the morning because I've seen it happen over and over again. I have no promises on my life here on earth. So when Jesus says, "GO". He doesn

    1Ti 3:16   Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.                     I was spending time thinking about what I means to be "vindicated be the Spirit" this word took my attention and I proceeded to look it up. In the Webster's dictionary it says literally this. " To prove or to be just or valid."   The Spirit proved that Jesus He is just and valid. This was an interesting note to me. But what is the mystery? The mystery to me is this, If Jesus did this in godliness, how do you become godly? All throughout 1 Timothy chapter 3 it talks about the qualifications of bishops and deacons. It lists practical things like "don't be given over to much wine" and "speak with integrity". But the root of all these things is godliness.
