Bible Verses for 2015
 

Ephesians 4:22-32

22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. 25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one body. 26 "In your anger do not sin": Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, 27 and do not give the devil a foothold. 28 He who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with his own hands, that he may have something to share with those in need. 29 Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

1 Corinthians 13:12 NIV

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.

Liked this, reminds me of what it says in the Big Book of AA, for every finger I point at someone, I have three fingers pointing back at me. Life is one of reflection. What I see in others, is a refection of what is within me, be it good, bad, or indifferent. God speaks through others. How often we shut down and miss the message, because we don't like the messenger, not recognizing that it is generally a reflection of something from within ourselves that we do not want to see and address.

I have a couple of dear friends, who I share with. Our favourite line is, "This is got to be your stuff, can't be mine! Generally ends up to be 'ours'! Sorry, not meant to be a sermon or an epistle!
