True love does not boast,
it’s not encased in pride
it is always forthright
hasn’t anything to hide.
It is not offensive,
it’s gentle and graceful
it is always patient
never is it forceful.
True love is full of tact,
it’s always to all kind
it doesn’t play games
with someone else’s mind.
It doesn’t act haughty,
or say things causing pain
love that is agape . . .
does not things in vain.
The truest form of love,
is filled with truth and light
for it wants to be to Jesus . . .
always pleasing in His sight!

1 Corinthians 13:4
“Charity suffereth long,
and is kind;
charity envieth not;
charity vaunteth not itself,
is not puffed up,”

I love this time of year,
with Thanksgiving just ahead
it reminds me of some facts
in the Bible I have read . . .
In all things be thankful,
let joy and praise flow out of you
for everything be grateful
give God the glory He is due.
Make peacefulness your habitation,
let your gentleness be known
be kind, tender-hearted and forgiving
never be the first to cast a stone.
Extend a hand to the needy,
let charity be your perfect gift
help all those who have not
bring back to God those adrift.
Show others your appreciation,
let them see your gratitude
bless them for their helpfulness
be not selfish in your attitude.
Reach out to the sick and hurting,
let them see Jesus’ true compassion
show all acts of grace and mercy
let not the sun go down on your passion.
Be content with all that you have,
rejoice in whatever is your state
be satisfied with all of the goodness
God places each day on your plate.
In everything be thankful,
let your praise be heard by all
in everything be grateful
let your joy be seen by all!

Out with the old,
on with the new
now that Jesus
lives inside of you.
No more bitterness,
no more anger
now that Jesus
is your Anchor.
No more grudges,
no more frustrations
now that Jesus
is your Foundation.
No more displeasure,
no more resentment
now that Jesus
is your contentment.
On with the new,
out with the old
now that you’re in . . .
Jesus’ fold!

Ephesians 4.31-32
“Let all bitterness,
and wrath, and anger,
and clamour, and evil
speaking, be put away
from you, with all malice:
And be ye kind one to another,
tenderhearted, forgiving
one another, even as God
for Christ’s sake hath
forgiven you.”

There is nothing quite like,
the power of forgiveness
nothing is so freeing
as letting go of bitterness.
There nothing quite like,
forgiving and forgetting
undoing the damage done
without doubt or regretting.
There is nothing quite like,
a heart willing to believe
the words ~ I am sorry
so peace it can receive.
There is nothing quite like,
mending hurt feelings
resolving lifelong issues
to bring inner healing.
There is nothing quite like,
the attitude of humility
letting go and letting God
turn discord into tranquility.
There is nothing quite like,
the power of God’s grace
the pure joy of release
when forgiveness we embrace!

Be slow in your anger,
be slow to show your wrath
for you are called to peace
with self-control as your path.
Be not puffed up with pride,
be not filled with malice
for you’re called to be gentle
not thick-skinned and callous.
Put off all bitterness and hate,
put off the grudge inside you
for you are called to temperance
in everything you say and do.
Take off that old sinful man,
take off the old wicked nature
for you are called in His love
to bring hope for the future.
Be kind to one another,
be tenderhearted and forgiving
for Jesus is God’s example
of how we should be living!
