If there is one thing that i have had to remind my self constantly today it would be all summed up in this passage:
"If i speak in the tongues of men and of angels but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or clanging cymble. If i have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge and if i have a faith that can move mountains but have not love, i am nothing. if i give all i possess 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 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 perserveres.
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 prophecy 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 all childish things behind me.
Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror, than we shall see face to face. Now i know in part, than i shall know fully, even as i am fully known.
And now these three remain: Faith, Hope, Love.
But the greatest of these three is Love"
Today i learnt that no matter where you are, no matter how old you are, there is always going to be imperfections and if you spend your life looking for them you are going to be misserable and negative. Today i witnessed it first hand what it can do to your life if you spend your time looking for all the bad things in your life and in life around you and it is not a pretty picture.
So just remember that a better picture is going to replace the ruined picture we see in front of us day in and day out and you will learn to live with these imperfections and look forward to what is ahead.
remember to Love one another, no matter how unbearable it can be, just smile and think of the passage above. it doesn't mean that you can be pushed around and you have to listen to the crap that you hear from people and by all means tell them but let that be that and get over it. love one another as God loves us.
see you soon.
