I need not ponder and wonder and worry about things. I can ask the Holy Spirit.
For example, earlier today distant voices were accusing me of failure. Maybe I am detached. Maybe my emotional growth is stunted. Does anyone really know how to love…
…
Hush voices, I know how to love. God’s love has been shed abroad in my heart by the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5).
1 Corinthians 13:4-8a reads:
Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.
Looking back over my walk with God, I see significant growth in the qualities listed in these verses.
Again, I need not ponder and wonder and worry about things. I can ask the Holy Spirit. He doesn’t speak in innuendos, He speaks truth in love.
I love this life!
