Above all else

“Above all things have intense and unfailing love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins [forgives and disregards the offenses of others]. [Prov. 10:12.]” 1 Peter 4:8 AMPC

Love is powerful.
Love overcomes evil.
Love brings healing.
Love conquers sin.
Love easily disregards an offense.
Love never fails.
Love never dies.
Love reigns.
Love is God living within us.

God is love!

Rock Bottom

“I will return to My place [on high] until they acknowledge their offense and feel their guilt and seek my face…” Yes, “…He has torn us so that He may heal us; He has stricken so that He may bind us up… He will revive us… He will raise us up that we may live before Him…” Hosea 5:16; 6:1 AMP

Although we acknowledge God as our Lord and Savior, if we stay in sin long enough, He will eventually let us hit rock bottom…hard!  He knows that there comes a point that the only way we will come back to our senses, and get right with Him, is to let us find out that we've come to a dead-end with nowhere to go.  It is at that point, we will cry out to Him, and He will come running; He will grab us up with His mighty hands, and the healing will begin!

So, if you happen to be at the rock bottom right now, don’t worry – God is with you, He hears you, and you’re at the perfect spot for Him to start anew in you.  My friend, the best part of your life is just about to start, and this time, the finish will be amazing!!

Offense and strife

“He who covers and forgives an offense seeks love, but he who repeats or harps on a matter separates even close friends.” Proverbs 17:9

Let it go!  Get over it! Move on!! It is in the past and it isn’t worth the time anymore.


“The beginning of strife is when water first trickles, therefore stop contention before it becomes worse and quarrelsoming breaks out.” Proverbs 17:14

Stay calm! Keep your mouth shut if the words won’t be pretty.  Talk it out like an adult. Apologize if necessary!

Great peace in God's Word

“Great peace have they who love Your law; nothing shall offend them or make them stumble.” Psalm 119:165

When we fall in love with Jesus, and dedicate ourselves to learning, doing, and honoring His commands, then, like the Word says, we will (and are) free of any offense and nothing, or nobody, will be able to cause us to stumble – God is carrying us all the way through!  Praise Him - AMEN
