You know when we were children, we would go to the beach and right on the waters edge we would construct a sandcastle. However not having enough insight, when the tide arose just a bit, the waves would come crashing over our little work of art. Then we’d have to start over and reconstruct our castle. And if we remembered we would back up some so as to enjoy our structure long enough before it was time to go home. When we come to Christ, are experiences can be similar, as children of God we must learn that we can’t build our lives on shifting sands, to close to raging waters. Strife and confusion, envy and grief, or like the rising tides and waves that would role over the things that we would build in the name of the Lord. As we gain insight we move far enough away so that our building will be acceptable and sturdy enough to live in.🙂
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
- Love suffereth long, and is kind; Love envieth not; Love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up 5.Does 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. Bareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
- Love never faileth:
