Bible Verse of the Day - February 14, 2023 Tuesday

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

Reflection on Verse for Today

This thirteenth chapter is widely regarded as the most comprehensive expression of love anywhere in the Bible. In fact, as we read through this passage, which is held in high esteem by a great number of people, we find that the word “LOVE” can be easily replaced with the name “JESUS” in virtually every instance. And rightly so, considering that Jesus exemplifies both patience and kindness.

Jesus does not harbor feelings of envy, nor does he engage in boasting or conceit. Jesus is not impolite, nor does He insist that His way is the one right way. Jesus is neither impatient nor resentful, and Jesus does not take pleasure in wrongdoing; rather, Jesus takes pleasure in the truth, for He is the Truth. And it is only in and through Jesus that we are able to suffer all things, bear all things, believe all things, and hope all things. When we think about this verse, let us go more deeply into the depth of its actual meaning and actively pray that Christ may be created in us so that we are enabled to love as He loves.

My Prayer

Heavenly Father, I pray that you would help me to grow the holy fruit of love in my life. I pray that I may always dwell in love and always strive to love as Christ loved. Protect me from feelings of envy and arrogance, and grant that the love of Jesus would be evident in and through me as a result of the work of the Holy Spirit. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
