Love is the Greatest

1 Corinthians 13

Love Is the Greatest
1 If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
2
If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing.
3
If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it;[a] but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.
4
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud
5
or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.
6
It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.
7
Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
8
Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages[b] and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever!
9
Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture!
10
But when full understanding comes, these partial things will become useless.
11
When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. 12 Now we see things imperfectly as in a cloudy mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity.[c] All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.
13 Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.

Financial Freedom

Most of you have heard of me saying i do not have enough money or not earning enough. Well few weeks ago, a guy from Crown Financial Ministries spoke about finances entitled "Money, a matter of Your Heart" and he said something that really struck me on the part of plan your spending, he said;

"Financial freedom is not determined by how much you make. It is determined by how you spend what you make"

When i heard it, i reflected on my spending and have always wondered where i spend my money, how come at the end of the month it is always super stretched. So i decided to keep track of all my accounts including drink, sweets, magazine etc etc. Val has gladly volunteered to help me keep track so i just daily "report" to her what i have spent.

So we will see at the end of the month how i have faired.
