Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 1 Corinthians 13:4-5 This passage definitely speaks to me when it comes to my marriage the past […]
Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? Yet not one of them has [ever] been forgotten in the presence of God. Indeed the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not be afraid; you are far more valuable than many sparrows. Luke 12:6-7 (AMP) You matter to God. He knows everything […]
“Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.” 1 John 3:18 “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” Martin Luther King, Jr. Love defines Jesus. He loves us so much that “he laid down […]
Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8 I have experienced first hand that love can overcome anything.

And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ Matthew 22:37-39 Jesus made it clear when asked, “which is the greatest commandment.” The pharisees were […]
Jermelle and I have been together for 9 years and over time, I’ve learned to live with and love his introvert-ness. Two could not be more different — I love chocolate, he doesn’t (which I will never understand). I love eating out, he loves cooking at home. I love inviting all of our friends over […]
“Our Father which art in heaven, we thy children are often troubled in mind, hearing within us at once the affirmations of faith and the accusations of conscience. We are sure that there is in us nothing that could attract the love of One as holy and as just as Thou art. Yet Thou hast […]
“Give respect to your father and mother, for without them you wouldn’t be here. And don’t neglect them when they grow old. Embrace the truth and hold it close. Don’t let go of wisdom, instruction and life-giving understanding. When a father observes his child living in godliness, he is ecstatic with joy! So may your father’s heart […]
