That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men , ( but in the power of God ) 1 cor. 2:5

   I ask myself daily what is my faith built upon . Do I have all the right quotations so I can amase all arround me as to the great knowledge i have aquired from study? And when someone cuts me off on the highway I instantlly blow my horn or give them the perverbial finger to let them know how great a christian I am.

   Do I still bash my work mates with scripture after scripture in heated discussion , the red heating my face as I get mader and mader at thier ridacule. As later I set and listen to there dirty jokes and off collor remarks.

   Do I set in quite christian piece as they down others race and someones weight problem, and laugh as they talk about the fat lady singing.

   Isnt there enough Faith in my spirit that the power of God brings me to a point where no more I can hear there remarks and my heart cries out in shame , can the power of love I am learning by Faith teach me to just return love and helpfull comments when they ridaquel me .

 

And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge, and though I have all Faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not ( charity ) , I am Nothing. 1 Cor 13:2

    Christ hollers in my spirit , " Errol lovest me more than thees " My brother or sister at church ( for the word tells me that most of my hurt comes from my own family ) do I storm arround for day if not weeks or mabe I still remeber and avoid them ?

    The power of love has been teaching me that it is not the person but the spirit behind the person that is offending me at the time so it become quite easy to forgive and forget the offence and loveinglly hug the nick of the person who was used to deliver the offence.

 

And now abideth Faith , Hope and charity, these three, ( but the greatest of these is charity)  1 cor 13:13

 

   One great wrighter once said that Love covers a multitued of sins. As Christ teaches me Faith in His Love and developes that Love in me it not only covers my sin but inabels me to forgive those arround me for there sins.

   Another great wrighter wrote that if I could not forgive my brother of his sin how could my father which is in heaven forgive me ?  HHHHHhhhhmmmmmmm puts me in a real spot still being mad all these years and building up a list to use whenever they offend me again and then I can really give it to them, or share it with others and cause disunity.

   Another wrighter tells me that there may be those arround me that are week in the faith , and there by inadverdently cause me grief. But even then I should recieve them into my life and circle and love them as much as anyone else .And by the Love of Christ that He is developing in my by the measure of faith He has given me to build upon strengthen them after my conversion.

   Lord theach me to be part of the sulution not part of the problem.
