April 22

April 22. It's only 3 o'clock in the afternoon and I already feel it to be one of those days. You know the kind I mean... the kind where you eat way too much chocolate, pretend to be productive but really aren't at all, neglect the projects that need to be done and the overdue assignment that's been calling your name all week. The kind of day where if you don't find someplace silent and alone, you fear that you'll actually go insane.

Here's my important note-to-self for today:
"I waited patiently for the Lord; he inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord. Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after a lie. You have multiplied, O Lord my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you! I will proclaim and tell of them, yet they are more than can be told." - Psalm 40:1-5

Sighhhhhhh.. that's better :)

God Is Love

1 John 4:8
1 Corinthians 13:4-8

If God is love...

He is PATIENT
He is KIND
He is NOT ENVIOUS
He is NOT BOASTFUL
He is NOT ARROGANT
He is NOT RUDE
He does NOT INSIST on His own way
He is NOT IRRITABLE
He is NOT RESENTFUL
He does NOT REJOICE in WRONGDOING
He REJOICES in the TRUTH
He BEARS all things
He BELIEVES all things
He HOPES all things
He ENDURES all things
He does NOT FAIL

Now, knowing this is the God we serve and proclaim...

do our actions actually reflect this kind of God?
