It has been such a fun weekend, and today was an absolutely gorgeous day. I've had a to-do list a mile long, but I decided to take a break, watch the sunset out on the porch, and hang out with God. Best idea ever.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. -John 14:27
And in that hour out on the porch, I was consumed by God's presence, and His peace. All the crappy things of the past week just melted away, and He reminded me that He is still here.
I became so absorbed in Captivating and covered at least 5 sections tonight, as opposed to the usual one a night. Then, I opened up my Bible and decided to read Ruth's story again. With tonight being Valentine's Eve, love has been on my mind as I'm sure it has everyone else's, so Ruth's story was the perfect one for tonight. There have been Bible study after Bible study about Ruth. Did you know that there are only five women listed in the genealogy of Jesus? And did you know that there are only two books of the Bible named after women?
Anyways....I typed up a huge blog post after this point....and erased it all.
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.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
Learn it, love it, live it.
Happy Valentine's Day :)
