Love is Not...

Tolerance!

Think about it this way...

We don't care what happens 

to people we care nothing about...  

We nod are heads and think

go ahead and do whatever 

you want...  

But if we care 

then we say 

don't do it... 

Parents discipline 

children they love...  

Apathy is true neglect...

they simply don't care...

Enabling is the worst

thing we can do to 

each other...

@JoSH Popcorn Poetry

Isn't this the truth?  We don't make an effort with people we don't care about...  Neglect is the worst form of apathy...  Letting our loved ones run amuck and self-medicating with drugs, alcohol, smoking, sex...  You name it!  It's the worst sort of scream you can make!

Love is...

Kind!

Love is kind...

but not manipulative...

Love is patient...

but not selfish...

Love is letting go...

but not controlling...

They always said to set it free

and real love will 

come back to you!

But some think

they are meant 

to hunt it down!

If it's not mutual 

then realize 

that it was never 

meant to be!

@JoSH Popcorn Poetry

Love is wanting what's best for someone but not forcing them to love you unless it is their choice free and clear...  Some people are so manipulative and will force you into a relationship simply because they are desperate and lonely.  That isn't love...  

1 Corinthians

13:2

If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.

What is most important?  Faith, hope, and love...  

But the greatest of these is love...

This is something I've read many times but what exactly does this mean?  

Do I love my neighbor?  Not always...  It's easier to love someone that is like us but hard to love those we hold in judgment...  

Thoughts to ponder...

Refresh Your Prayers

This is a great devotional on prayers...  

When I was in high school, I read the entire Bible through and then thought I was done because I had read it all.  It took a move out of state to realize that I was falling into apostacy.  

Don't get me wrong I still did group Bible studies and attended church but I was lacking that intimacy with God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit that I didn't know I craved.

Now I have a collection of Bible studies and devotions that I do daily!  Hallelujah and Amen!

I don't want to be a lukewarm Christian!  When the rapture happens I plan to be gone!  I am sorry if you get left behind!

Going to Heaven?

Are you?  Am I?  I definitely hope so...  Rather that the alternative...  which involves hellfire and brimstone...  What really happens when you die?  You need to know before you die...  because after you die, it will be too late...
