QUOTES THAT SETTLE MY MIND

Invisible leader - hardly see another soul in a week, but on the spiritual plane, who knows. Thanks @Faith-and-Hope, the poster quotes are lovely.

@Appleblossom, hi, how is your week? There are many spiritual truths that overlap in religion, called different, explained differently. I wonder if its fear & vanity that causes many to think otherwise.

A neighbouring town council has just approved of an expansion of its first Islamic temple. The first 'call to prayer' will ring out over residentil homes for six blocks, sometimes as early as 4am. I imagined how hard that must be living within earshot. Then I realised, if it woke me, rather than get angry that those who's extremist factions are my enemy ( hate Christians ), I realise it could be my pro pt to pray to Jesus. The atheists might have trouble though lol

"REMEMBER THAT
FAILURE IS AN EVENT
NOT A PERSON"
~ Zig Ziglar

"Even if I speak many languages, of men and of angels, but do not have love - I become a noisy gong, a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy, or the ability to fathom all mysteries and all knowledge or even faith enough to move mountains yet do not love - I am nothing. And if I give all I possess to the poor and my body to hardship, that I may boast, but do not have love - nothing is gained. So what then is love:

LOVE IS patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. Love does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking or easily angered. Love keeps no record of wrongs or delight in evil but rather rejoices with the truth. Love always protects, always trusts, always hopes and always perseveres.
Love never fails.

But as for 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 we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.

When I was a child I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. But when I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.

For now, in this world, we see only a reflection, as in a mirror - but then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part but then I shall know in full, even as I am fully known. And then, these three things will remain - faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love"
~ Apostle Paul (20AD)

Thank you @Shaz51

CAN ANYTHING EVER SEPARATE US FROM THE LOVE OF GOD? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, fear or threatened with death? No, despite all these things. FOR I AM CONVINCED that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus.
~ Apostle Paul (Rom8.31)

"You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand to bring light to all around. Si Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works, and thank God.
