A More Excellent Way… #Arise

open minded peopleWhen you listen to understand,  walls come down, hearts are softened and love has a fighting chance…

When I choose to listen to someone’s heart, I feel an ocean of hope come roaring through.

I sense my own heart opening, and judgement ending…

” And now I will show you a more excellent way.  If I speak in the tongues of men and angles, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.  If I have the gift of prophesy and can fathom all mysteries, and all the knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have no love, I am nothing.  

If I give all that I have to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind.  It does not envy, it does not boast.  It is not proud.  It it not rude, it is not self seeking.  It is not easily angered.  It keeps no records of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres…

Love never fails..”

1 Corinthians 13

Dear Heavenly Father,

I want this most excellent way… the way You listen to me… The way You draw me into Your courts with love and understanding…

May I be a good representation of what You are to me…

When I come before You, I know You are listening to my every word with such great love… kindness and compassion…

May I quickly lean on Your spirit when I am in situations that feel uncomfortable… angry, or in conflict…

May Your words of truth come flooding in, and change everything….

All for Your glory, and all for Your love…

Thank You for Love…  

The most beautiful word I know…

Your love changes everything…

Your love changes me…

Yes, Father, my heart; and my soul desire to love more…

To listen more, and to be more like You.

Thank You for opening my heart to these words once again…

My soul was longing for truth…

My heart longing for comfort…

I am forever grateful to know Your love never changes… and I can rest in Your patience and kindness as I work on trusting you more and more…

I love You, Jesus,

In Your Name,

I pray,

Amen

Live in Love,

Lisa
