The High Road

It is with great difficulty that we sometimes have to bite our tongue, hold back our anger and not go off on someone.   When we are wronged, we do become angry.  However, God has given us the means by which to handle such situations -- time!   "Time" is such a blessing.  To be able to walk away and put thoughts aside and deal with it another time.  With clear minds, we will be able to understand the other side and see through their eyes, and be able to deal fairly with the situation.  

Let us take the high road and truly love each other, whether it is walking away, or finding a compromise or solution.   Our love will be the greatest strength in whatever battle we fight.

1 Corinthians 13 The Greatest Gift


1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.


4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.


8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.


11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.


13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

God be with us all tonight.
