1 Corinthians 13
Love
1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
When I am in a bad place in the middle of a challenging time know matter what it is. My marriage a bad choice my child has made a relationship what ever the challenge may be. If I don’t have love motivating my thoughts, my decisions, the things I say. I really do sound like a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal…loud and obnoxious. I’ve even come to the point of getting sick and tired of hearing my self talk or think! My thoughts become cluttered with wrong emotions and resentments. Most often I feel hopeless in that situation. I’m thinking maybe if you don’t have love surrounding your situation you must not have Christ surrounding your situation because God is love. 1 John 4:16 says and so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him.
Later in 1 Corinthians 13:8 it says love never fails. And that my friend is the answer I’m searching for when I say...I really don’t know how to handle this situation, what choices do I make, what do I need to say, how should I say it? Love NEVER fails!
Thank you God for you never ending never failing love. Help me God to put You and Your love in the center of every part of my life…

I love your take on this. I, too, get tired of hearing myself speak sometimes. I think you have really hit on something. It's because whatever I am pontificating on is not surrounded by love. Wow. I need to wrap my head around this.
Brilliant, Brandi.
I think some times we just need to:
REST in the Lord,
REST in his Love!
His love in you will give you the answers to your questions!
Give what you can not do, to him!
He will never fail you!
His love can heal all wounds and bind up the broken hearted.....so, give it to him. :-)
Love you girl!!
