We don’t go through this life unscathed. Some more than others. Be kind to one another, you don’t know what their struggles are or have been.

When we are in the midst of life’s storms, troubles and concerns we don’t see them as building blocks. It’s hard. But once we come through the storm we are stronger and have gained knowledge and foresight. We can help others with our experiences. Remember if God brings you to it… He will bring you through it.

Peace to you.

Mar. 31/21 – You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving.

Posted on March 31, 2021 by bshiveofhope

Givewithoutloving

I read we must always test our motives. You see the human is but a self serving being. Am I  genuine or filling a selfish need? Is it my personal ambition or am I being obedient? Read 1 Corthinians 13, it talks of the excellence of love. Verse 13 But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Peace to you.

“A man that beareth false witness against his neighbour is a maul, and a sword, and a sharp arrow.”

Like my mom used to say, if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all. Words of wisdom I will always remember.

Peace to you.
