THE WORD OF GOD SAYS
WANTING YOUR OWN WAY ALL THE TIME
Don’t love the world’s ways. Don’t love the world’s goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father. Practically everything that goes on in the world—wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important—has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him. The world and all its wanting, wanting, wanting is on the way out—but whoever does what God wants is set for eternity.
1 John 2:15-17 The Message (MSG)
BE CAREFUL TO GET ON EACH OTHER’S NERVES
Gently encourage the stragglers, and reach out for the exhausted, pulling them to their feet. Be patient with each person, attentive to individual needs. And be careful that when you get on each other’s nerves you don’t snap at each other. Look for the best in each other, and always do your best to bring it out.
1 Thessalonians 5:12-13 MSG
IT’S SIMPLE—DON’T BE SENSITIVE, BE LOVING!
Regarding life together and getting along with each other, you don’t need me to tell you what to do. You’re God -taught in these matters. Just love one another!
1 Thessalonians 4:9-10 MSG
FOCUS ON YOUR LOVE FOR GOD, THEN YOU WILL NOT BE SENSITIVE OVER THINGS THAT DOESN’T REALLY MATTER
My love for you has my heart on fire! My passion for your house consumes me! Nothing will turn me away, even though I endure all the insults of those who insult you.
Psalms 69:9 TPT
