Love is kind etc.

E-mail Print

The Bible speaks of love being kind. In 1 Corinthians 13:4 it says, "Love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud" (NIV).This means  the love of Jesus and when we except Jesus as our Saviour, He will give us love within our hearts. Love is not a boasting thing or for us to have pride about but rathe to be humble towards each other or love thy neighbour. Like my parents were humble within life and therefore their love was awesome. Food, we all need food to survive however the Bible is a source of food or God's word. In John 4:34 it says, "My food", said Jesus, "is to do the will of Him (God the Father) who sent me and to finish His (the Father) work" (NIV). Jesus depended on God (the Father) to privide things, such as, food and work. So, what does this mean ?? It is the will of the Lord that we need to give thanks for food and to be thankful for this word (food) the Bible.

Laughter. In Psalm  126:2  it says, "Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues filled with joy" (NIV).  The laughter within my family was always shared as a joyful thing. I know that the Lord brings joy and fills our hearts with laughter, which could mean  that  joy and laughter can be our strength.  Jesus is our shelter. Jesus brings peace.  Psalm 91: I mentions, "He who dwells in the shelter of the most high will rest in the shadow of the Almighty" (NIV).  This means if we want to be in a safe place we can dwell in the shelter house of the Lord, such as, rest in a church or home while praying to the Lord, which will give a resting place or shelter.  Finally, clothing.  Romans 13: 14 mentions,  " Rather clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ..." (NIV). Do outwardly, which means help those around you. My Grand-Mother and Aunt made clothes for the my brother and I when we were little. They helped in a outwardly (physical) way and in a inward (love) way.    Jesus can clothe us through answering our prayers and providing for clothes to wear.
