Creative hair (Courtney)


I love being creative when in comes to hair. This time I decided to do a simple 2-braided combo and my beautiful sister, Courtney, really pulled it off. :)

If I have not love I am nothing...So what is love?

 

'If I have not love I am nothing. I am only a resounding gong or clanging cymbal.' -1 Corinthians 13:1

'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. And love your neighbour as yourself.' -Luke 10:27

The 10 Commandments are pretty much summed up in that one verse. For if we love each other with true love we will be obeying everyone one of them of God's Commandments and will be doing God's will as Christians. I think the problem we face is what is love meant to be? Is it just a feeling? I think God knew we might get confused and so He spelled it out quite clearly for us:

Love is patient, love is kind.

It does not envy, it does not boast.

It is not proud, it is not rude, it is not self-seeking.

It is not easily angered; it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects, always trusts,

always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails.

-1 Corinthians 13: 4-8

Wow. I'm so thankful for God's gift of grace. It is a true challenge to live a life of this kind of love. But that's what is meant to make us, as Christians, stand out! Join me in meditating on and memorizing that section of scripture and keep it in mind as you go through your day.

And let's not forget to pray. For know all things are possible with Christ who strengthens us.
