Scripture:
1 Corinthians 13: 1-3 " If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or clanging cymabal. If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing" - NASB
Observation:
No matter how much I seek approval, desire and multitude of thoughts of giving more, does this come from guilt? Does this desires come to leverage my exisitng sins? It is meaningless, if I am not able to love my neighbors and enemies, yet I worry about not giving enough. Forgiveness and kind heartly love the ones who has foul mouthed me. Like Palsm 39:1 "I will guard my ways that I may not sin with my tongues". How often is that the case? Especially when it come from your loved one? I know truth will be told so I shall not work to their levels, but rather see beyond the existing sins and love them.
Application:
This scripture hit to pit of my stomach, as this is long over due struggle. I need to be the better person, example to be laid out there. Through the pains and suffering, lean onto the God, speak to God of my pain and frustration. He will listen, and will lead to the right words to bring peace within. This way it will provide me to strenght to love and be righteous through his words.
Prayer:
"Our magnificant Father, Maker and Savior, stir and mold my heart to be more righteous. I know you walk along my struggle to forgive those who have brought pain, give me the strenght to forgive and love them, as you have love us unconditionally. We live in generation of hate and greed, help me so that my heart is focused on the right path"
