Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."

That is why for Christ's sake I delight in weaknesses, in insults in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
~2 Corinthians 12:8-10

Poor Reflection (Mar 6th)

Hey everyone my bad I've skipped a few days! Sorry.

~Henry Ward Beecher~

Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
~1 Corinthians 13:12 (NIV)


Brit's 'put

Allot of people including myself have had to read this verse a few times over to understand it; it can be kind of confusing. It's kind of cool though because today in school (language arts) after reading "Our Town" by Thornton Wilder, I read this verse. I'll try and dissect if for you and let you know what I think....

Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror: right now we see but a poor reflection of what life is and how important it is – and also what a poor reflection this earth is compared to heaven.

Then we shall see face to face: when we see the Lord face to face (when we die)

Now I know in part, then I shall know fully: Now I only know part of it, but when I am with Him (dead) I shall know fully; I'll see the whole picture and understand how important the small things were

Even as I am fully known: even as God knows me fully and life fully

Right now we can't see clearly how important life really is; only after we've lost it will truly be able to see. But then we will be in a place so much better than here. So know that also this world is such a poor, poor reflection of what is to come.

Hopefully I explained that in a way that you can understand what I think...

Beyond My Scope (Mar 3rd)

For I am bound with fleshly bands,
Joy, beauty, lie beyond my scope;

And catch at hope.

Faith, Hope, & Love (Mar 2nd)

Faith goes up the stairs that love has made and looks out of the windows which hope has opened.

~ 1 Corinthians 13:13 (NKJV)
