I ask the Lord to bless you, as I pray for you today;
to guide you and protect you, as you go along your way.
His love is always with you, His promises are true.
And when you give Him all your cares, you know He'll see you through.

1 Corithians 13:
8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.


There is no past, it is gone forever, it does not exist. All that exists NOW is our FAITH in alledged memories of a past.
There is no future it has not occured, it does not exist. All that exists NOW is our HOPE for a better now in a future which does not yet exist.

All that exists is NOW and we should use LOVE now if we are to fulfill our hopes that a better now will exist in the future.

NOW is all we have , use it to LOVE Others.

Yes maam to love is the reason we should live. Anger only shortens our lives. I would rather love for a day then live an eternity angry.

Very Nice

Very poetic.

I was curious. did this email have a "send to x number of people" type thing at the end.

Whenever I've received a chain letter like that, it's always said something along the lines of this:



I make it a principle of mine never to accede to the demands of a chain letter. This is one of the few things that gets under my skin - a nameless letter telling me that unless I do what it asks, I'm not truly Christian.

But that aside, as I said, it was very poetic. I'll borrow from GodsMessenger's quote from 1 Corinthians 13:13, and say again: "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love"

All the best,

Yes it did have a thing like that attached. But I am not ashamed of God. But the thing is that just because I don't send it. It doesn't mean I am no more or less then before.

reads a bit like some nazi propaganda

This statement has no merit, except as flame bait.

Why you say nazi? It does not speak of hating Jews. Please explain. Why no merit?

What do you think?

I meant the statement by Adam_Askew had no merit. It is merely an attempt to create animosity, discord, and anger.

I have no comment to make on the original post, since I disagree with it.

Okay I didn't think it was like you to be like that. Thanks JMPD.

What a loving message "Either send this to ten people or God will be ashamed of you".

Yeah I hate thises disgusting manipulative, bullying, badgering, chain letters as well no matter how syruppy or righteous they try to sound they are IMHO just plain nasty threatening hate mail.

I seldom have time to read such messages let alone send them to 10 people who may dislike them as much as I do.

Oh well.

With respect


Worship me or you will burn in hell for eternity.

Same basic message just different wording.
