1 Corinthians 13:1-7 MSG - YouVersion.com: Online Bible

This is my Favorite Online Bible. The You Version.      



Probably because not only is it an Online Bible, but, It has an App for Just about every Smart-phone there is!
so you can use this handy little app wherever you need a Bible.  it also has a Feature that I totally LOVE, you can Share Verses with Twitter and now for the Blackberry, you can Share Verses on your Facebook page!



But, anyway, your probably wondering why I have a Particular Verse attached to it.
This Verse has been Speaking LOUDLY to me over the Past week.

You know how you can read a verse of scripture and you think "yeah, that's nice" one time & then you can come back to that same verse, and WOW! It totally comes alive!

Almost Kinda like God Saying " Did you really catch what I am trying to tell you?" and we don't see it
& then the next time, WHOA! There it is!

I dont know about you but, MAN, I think to myself WOW! that was there This Whole time!!! What a Gift!

Its like finding money in a coat or a Pair of Jeans that you didn't know you had, or perhaps, you forgot you had.
Here's This Verse, it has been Speaking VOLUMES to me from the Message:

1 Corinthians 13

1 If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don’t love, I’m nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate.2 If I speak God’s Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, “Jump,” and it jumps, but I don’t love, I’m nothing.3 If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don’t love, I’ve gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I’m bankrupt without love.

4 Love never gives up. 

Love cares more for others than for self. 

Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have. 

Love doesn’t strut,
Doesn’t have a swelled head,

5 Doesn’t force itself on others,
Isn’t always “me first,”
Doesn’t fly off the handle,
Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others,

6 Doesn’t revel when others grovel,
Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,

7 Puts up with anything,
Trusts God always,
Always looks for the best,
Never looks back,
But keeps going to the end

Wow! That's Powerful! Especially in light of the Fact that THIS is how God Wants us to live our Lives!

YAY For GOD

This Morning's Church Service was REALLY amazing! We had Some Missionary's From our Denomination Come today and Speak. They were talking about Stuff the Do and their Ministry, and Stuff they Felt God was Speaking to us ( The Church). But these Missionaries Were People that We have Known and have been associated with our church for Many Years, So, they were More like Very old Dear Friends that have Come Back to Visit and Chat. I started to Feel a Tugging on my Heart, Or a Tapping on my Shoulder, of the Spirit of God saying "Psst, are you Paying attention this?" that Maybe this Call that God has on my Life was Sort of Related to Doing things on the Mission Field somehow. Well,Our Pastor Gave an Invitation that if this Spoke to you and you Feel a Unction(LOL if you read this Stacy Or Jody!)and this Message Has REALLY Spoke to you to Come Forward So, that they can Pray Over you and They can Launch you off in To what God Has called you To do. This REALLY Spoke to me and I went Forward. I felt God's Presence SO STRONG! So Much SO, that i was waiting in line while they came to us, one of my friends were talking to me and I had a Hard time Focusing on What She was talking about. I was In a zone, and didn't want to Be Distracted From what Was going to Be imparted to me! When She Finally Got To me, She Just Prayed as She Felt Led and WOW!! IT WAS TOTALLY spot ON! She Said that she Felt like i was Going in million Different Directions at once! and that She Prayed that God would Help slow me Down and ,focus on Just what he was calling on me to do! What she Prayed was Right on, Right Down to The Minutest Detail of a Decision I Made this week!!!!! I don't Know this Lady Very well Personally, and I have JUST Recently Introduced myself to her,So,There is NO OTHER way she could have known about these things Other than God Speaking thru her.

How Encouraging is THAT??? The God of the Universe Picking a Way To say Hey! Your Important to me! I care About you SO much that i am Going to Use this Person to show you How much I love you! How He knows the Things That you go thru In your life and they are important to Him!

This Song Randomly Spoke to me out of the Blue today! This is What was Confirmed to me in a HUGE way today!




YAY! I am TOTALLY Psyched!

But, Of course that the Enemy Doesn't want ANY of this Stuff for us! HE's a Sneaky Little TOAD that Will Try to STEAL, KILL, And Destroy! WELL, Sorry Mr TOAD! IT AINT HAPPENING!! I Will NOT allow you to STEAL FROM ME ANYMORE! This is MY Destiny! and you CANT have it! SO Long! ADIOS! You Dont have ANY control or authority in my life, because you are UNDER my FEET! Where you WILL remain! HA!

Why its Important to be Authentic!

During our Lunch time at work, I was doing my thing,when I called The next customer over and told them i was open and Available to help who ever was next. A lady came over and started to give me her order, when she said, " Didn't you used to live at Dupont Estates?" I was floored and Speechless for a couple seconds, when i replied" yes i did, but i lived there from 98-2000". She said " Yeah, i know, i used to be your neighbor I saw you with your girls all the time". WOW! Imagine that! Someone That Used to be my neighbor from a Place that i haven't live in 8YRS!! and the Girls she was referring to are featured above... they were just little when we lived there, and i was a Single Mom then. I was Astounded by the fact I must have made SOME sort of IMPACT on her for her to remember me after not seeing me for 8YEARS! WOW!! For me, it all goes back to the fact that, as Christians we need to be sure that our walk matches our talk.( and i didn't know ANYTHING about having a A walk with God then!) Because we never know who's watching us. But, today, when she said that, i just thanked God that i did something right away back then. In a time that was really rough for me, did something that made a Neighbor i had 8 yrs previously, remember me on a random visit to have Lunch at Chick-fil-a. So, be encouraged if you feel like you don't matter, or if you feel like the things you do don't really amount to much because they are just ordinary things. You never know when you are going to do something or be something to someone that you think is just ordinary, that will make them remember you after not seeing you for 8 yrs!
