Words That Sustain Me

Posted by Monica Edwards Categories: Personal, Religious

I wanted to share with you words that help me when I need that extra something to get me through a day, a week, heck, through life. If I did not have God’s words to sustain me I would be lost—so I wanted to create a post on my favorite texts, and share with you how these texts have touched me. I hope they will resound in some way with you.

1 Corinthians 13;2-8…and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8Love never fails.

This is my first favorite text because as with a lot of weddings, it was recited at ours. To live up to it, is difficult, but worth fighting for. It reminds me of my wedding day, and that is a day to cherish, when love was so new and uncomplicated…so that is why it is on the fave list.
