I'm just sitting here at this girls retreat reflecting on 1 Corinthians 13... A chapter I've read a hundred thousand times, but yet somehow it still doesn't sink in.
("so no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do... I'm bankrupt without love.")
I got a parallel NIV/message bible for my graduation, so as I've been studying the Bible since then, Ive been looking at the message to kinda understand it better... Or at least get a fresh look on things.
("love never dies. It cares more for others than self. Love doesn't want what it doesn't have. Love doesn't strut.....it puts up with anything. Trusts God always. Always looks for the best.")
That last phrase there is a stinker. I've been thinking about that lately. You know, always assuming the worst of people, judging before I get to know them... It's not love. And I yearn to change my attitude towards the world.
As i said in my little advice blurb to my fellow students at school "love everybody." the world could care less about how much you know, until they can know how much you care.
