The most excellent way...

Many of us yearns to have gift of prophecy, wisdom, discernment of the spirit, performing miracles, healing etc... Competing who have these and that, who is better, who is more anointed, wise etc. But according to Paul in 1 Corinthians... the most excellent way is not all these act..

~

The most excellent way is LOVE..

~

Even if I gains all the wisdom in the world, do good by giving away all possessions to the poor, did all the good things for others.. and have not love.. I am nothing...

~

It is really hard to love.. but love does not mean ACCEPTING ONES SINS.. I mean, if we are thinking that by keeping quite when we found out someone is doing something wrong IS LOVE... I think we are wrong..

~

Love is to be patience, to be kind, do not envy,do not boast or be proud, to not be rude,not self-seeking, not easily angered, keeps no records of wrongs, do not delight in evil but rejoices in truth, always protects, always trust, always hopes, always persevere..

Always protects.. now this is love.. and I don't know why when I protect the youth ah.. I get condemned by it.. giving stern advice so young ppl would stay away from sin, and yet many insist that I should leave them alone.. Which parent would be in the right mind to leave their tormented teen go through sin and suffer? tell me which wise parent would do tt?

~

Obviously, God did not ask us to protect the lies and the sin of someone, right? so protect them against what? Protect them from the lies of the enemies, protect them from self-destruction, protect them from all harm.. why? Because they deserves it!!! Because we love them!!! Because Jesus loves them!!!

~

Anyway.. I suppose if someone is ready to start over and listen then only an advise can be effective... if not.. it should not be force onto a person.. it should always be gentle and kind..

Lord, i hope i will know how to love like you do.. coz it's hard.. everyone can misunderstood it for something else or that it is coming from a negative intention.. haih.. tt's why even with the purest of heart and the best intention in mind for the other person..would be mistaken.. the love that we so try to show is in vain.. fall on deaf ears... BUT.. Love never gives up!!! :) so I wouldn't stop learning how to love.. because it is the most excellent way..
