Hello, welcome to A.D. now, Anno Domini = “in the year of the Lord”.
We are in the first week of June and to start the month off right, I’ve found some scripture that can help bring you all some hope, love, and faith.
These are 3 things some of us take for granted, not intentionally, but through living life in the busy everyday 9-5, hussling and busseling just to make ends meet, to find your still short on what you owe and or some other normal life stress-related issue, yet these 3 key ingredients together can propel us trough God, setting us on our feet, placing us where we are suppose to be on this journey called life. At the right moment and the right time. The present 🎁 one. It really is a gift.
Below, under the prayer, you will find scriptures focused on hope, love, and faith.
Before the I share scripture, I always start off with prayer.
Heavenly Father, thank you for this day. Forgive us our sins, as we all fall short of your glory. I ask that you may teach us today, fill us with your hope, love, and faith, how to apply it in our daily lives. Keep us safe and out of harms way. Fill us with your Holy Spirit and cast out our shadows of darkness. Allow your light to be so bright, that it may cast out the shadows of others as well. These things I ask, these things I pray, in Jesus name, Amen.
It is important to keep in mind when the King James Version of the Bible, the word “charity” can be mistaken as GIVING OF MONEY or ITEMS.
This is NOT the correct meaning of charity. For example… To have charity in your heart is to have God’s LOVE in you. To freely GIVE GOD’S LOVE in return to others. Helping others out of LOVE is having charity. Charity = LOVE.
1 Corinthians 13:1-13 KJV
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity (love), I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
2 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(love), I am nothing.
3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity (love), it profiteth me nothing.
4 Charity (love) suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity (love) vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8 Charity (love) never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity (love), these three; but the greatest of these is charity (love).
LOVE is the root and the base of all things. It is where hope, faith come from. Where healing begins, strength, joy, all of it. Most of all. It is important to have love for ourselves, so we may love others correctly.
I hope these scripture can help anyone, someone have more understanding of what having hope, faith and love is all about and how to obtain it for ourselves. It is most definitely not out of reach.
Until next time… May God Bless you all!
