1 Corinthians; chapter 13; cont…

yet at the same time.. i wonder when there is not a sound to be heard.. if my silence is not understood.. will my words be when they are spoken to you? will we be able to break a barrier that’s been placed between us.. a barrier set there by you and i? will you help me tear down that wall that we’ve placed? to peer around corners together.. to face the shadows?

and if i speak in a different language, will you still be able to understand? will you work with me as i work with you in understanding.. in coping.. in chasing away the demons we each have.. to fill a void.. to feel alive.. and not give in to that ever creeping closer entity of cold..

2 And if I have the gift of prophecy and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have all faith so as to move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing.

3 If I give away everything I own, and if I hand my body over so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing

4 3 Love is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, (love) is not pompous, it is not inflated,

5 it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury,

6 it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth.

7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

8 4 Love never fails. If there are prophecies, they will be brought to nothing; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge, it will be brought to nothing.

i am nothing without you… for i believe.. and i have faith.. i rejoice in this season that has brought you to me.. and i pray that as time moves forward.. that it allows you and i to move forward with it.. as one…

Silence is understood when we care enough not to intrude and quietly wait asking no questions, simply accept the silence as part of the other. It’s not essential to have explanations. I have periods of silence and don’t feel I should have to explain those. Well whomsoever you’re speaking to I hope it is understood by that person. So lovely to read your words. Sweet dreams

It’s Lent and Easter is near, I had to think twice there about the season. When light comes into the world of darkness it changes everything. Thank you for reminding me. I like to hear your soul speak thus. It’s like a refeshing drink of crystal clear water. Warmest hugs sweet lady

I think you’re speaking to the creator, who could move forward with you or me with perfect love unless it’s the divine. You certainly have a mystic within you. I’ve always thought that. Must go now it’s late here. Peace & Love

Gosh how I wish wed all live beginning in love first, temper all our relating dynamics with love & kindness & such. Harsh being human sometimes because of the messes most of us can make when we intend to be loving. We often let difficulties like cultural, communication, temperament differences confuse & block even spiritual relating with ourselves and the greatest power.

Thanks again for sharing this, Whimsical : ) Always like it when you get me thinking about beautiful stuff like love! Hugs & Smiles

Love does make all things possible and bearable; it is the one true and complete good of which we are capable. I have always loved 1 Corinthians. This is a beautiful meditation on it. Hug.
