I was asked to be apart of production at Ebenezer Baptist Church here in Albany. The director is taking the 9 fruit of the spirit and she wants to have 9 brides and 9 groomsmen. Now, I really should not be taking this on since I am working on my own production for my church. But I was curious about it so I asked her which fruit of the spirit she wanted me speak on. I figured that she would want me speak on meekness or long-suffering. But she told me she wanted me to speak on love. I had to do a chuckle when she said it. I've been studying 1 Corinthians 13 since February and it has been kicking my butt!! I consider myself quite loving but there are times when people can challenge you and push you beyond the brink of being lovable. I spent two months on love is patient!! I just was having problems being patient. Anyway, I had to chuckle and look up at God and say, "So you've got jokes God". Okay, I see you. So, with that I knew that God was trying to tell me something. He really wants me to study love but from His perspective of what love means. God is love and He is the best and perfect example of how we are supposed to love one another. So, I am writing about love and trying to understand how I can become more loving to my family, to my friends and to my church family. Looking with loving eyes on how I can be a blessing to others and how I can show God's love through me. praying and hoping with a holy expectancy that I will be loved the way that I deserve to be loved. So looking forward to spending my life loving someone and having them love me back with all their heart, mind and soul.
I'm nervous about it but I have committed to
the project. I truly believe that God wants me to do this. So, if anyone is reading this please pray for me.
Proverbs 17:9 He who covers and forgives an offense seeks love, but he who repeats or harps on a matter separates even close friends.
