Bumper Stick Inspiration
I spotted an interesting bumper sticker yesterday. It read, “The best things in life are not things.” Isn’t this a great quote to ponder.
What is the best thing in my life? Love. The love of my family. The love of God. The love of my friends. My love for life. My love for myself (not necessarily in this order). It is only one word, love but it is so many things that are far more important than all the material things in this world.
Love is unequal. Here is one of my favorite bible versus regarding love, it sums it all up.
1 Corinthians 13
The Way of Love
13:1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I gave up childish ways. 12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.
13 So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
What are the best things in your life?
Much love, peace and joy!
Stumble it!
