My Mission
11 years ago
(This is a summary I'm making by pointing to a few passages. There are more, trust me.)
I'm still growing as a person. I'm still learning. I've only been alive twenty years and I've only been a Christian eight years, and a serious one for three. I'm not perfect, I'll never be perfect while I remain here, and that is not an excuse. I try my best and I'm always trying to be better and more loving and more caring.
If I EVER slip up, or ANYTHING of the like, bring it to me and accuse me of it so I may correct myself and fix the wrong I have done.
All are ESV.
Philippians 2:1-8
1So if there is any encouragement in Christ,
any comfort from love,
any participation in the Spirit,
any affection and sympathy,
2complete my joy by being of the same mind,
having the same love,
being in full accord and of one mind.
3Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit,
but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.
4Let each of you look not only to his own interests,
but also to the interests of others.
5Have this mind among yourselves,
which is yours in Christ Jesus,
6who, though he was in the form of God,
did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,
7but emptied himself,
by taking the form of a servant,
being born in the likeness of men.
8And being found in human form,
he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death,
even death on a cross.
1st Peter 2:1
1So put away all malice and all deceit
and hypocrisy and envy and all slander.
11-12
11Beloved,
I urge you as sojourners and exiles
to abstain from the passions of the flesh,
which wage war against your soul.
12Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable,
so that when they speak against you as evildoers,
they may see your good deeds
and glorify God on the day of visitation.
1st Corinthians 13
1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels,
but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
2And if I have prophetic powers,
and understand all mysteries and all knowledge,
and if I have all faith,
so as to remove mountains,
but have not love,
I am nothing.
3If I give away all I have,
and if I deliver up my body to be burned,
but have not love,
I gain nothing.
4Love is patient and kind;
love does not envy or boast;
it is not arrogant
5or rude.
It does not insist on its own way;
it is not irritable or resentful;
6it does not rejoice at wrongdoing,
but rejoices with the truth.
7Love bears all things,
believes all things,
hopes all things,
endures all things.
8Love never ends.
As for prophecies, they will pass away;
as for tongues,they will cease;
as for knowledge, it will pass away.
9For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
10but when the perfect comes,
the partial will pass away.
11When I was a child,
I spoke like a child,
I thought like a child,
I reasoned like a child.
When I became a man,
I gave up childish ways.
12For now we see in a mirror dimly,
but then face to face.
Now I know in part;
then I shall know fully,
even as I have been fully known.
13So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three;
but the greatest of these is love.
Romans 1:16
16For I am not ashamed of the gospel,
for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes,
to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
Hebrews 12:14
14Strive for peace with everyone,
and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.

Any time you seek encouragment, uplifting kinship, love, or even just a nice chat come to me. I try my best to never judge, and I know I err and do wrong. Despite this, I am only human. We are all just that. Don't feel down when you do wrong because your friends will lift you back up.
