Love is patient, love is kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.
1 Corinthians 13:4-5
This verse is important to me because love has made an impact in my life. My family has gotten a lot closer because of love and all of the things it provides, and how it keeps no record of being wronged reminds me of God and how we are always forgiven because Christ died for us.
Giving me reassurance is one of the many things God has done. He does this through constantly reminding me that he has a plan. He leads me through thick and thin, and continually guides me through. One time in particular sticks out to me: the night my mom died I didn't know where to turn, desperate for answers I prayed. Maybe I didn't get the answer that I wanted, God gave me a better one. He provided me with my moms friends and family who flooded me with their memories of my mom's life. It was exactly what I needed.
Believing is seeing, is the way I understand the holy spirit. It's the presence around you, when all else fails. It's hard to explain the feeling it gives you, the unseen protection around you. It leads you in the right direction.
Jesus died to save us. He came to earth knowing what he came for, yet still went through the pain to give up all of it for us. Through him we are saved. He died so our sins would be forgotten.
The bible is there for us to reference past encounters with God. To show us that others have witnessed acts of christ and to teach us to continue and teach our kids about God. That we will bring others who don't know God, to him. Also to pray for those in need.
Our Faith is something very important to each and every one of us. Its the one thing that will be there for us regardless of what we do. We can turn our backs but its the one thing that holds us together, like the last piece of the puzzle, it fits and makes our life complete.
