Love does not envy 1 Cor 13:4

alot of things went thru my mind today... is like i simply have to think about it. even during my sleep. i was having a nightmare... i was like being chase by my fren of mine. is like she's after my life like that. killing and gunshots are seen... it's so terrible. din sleep well enough.

din overslept.

Thoughts: i remember last year, my teacher said a story so meaningful, last year, and now i find it on "A Love Worth Giving" by Max Lucado

At the age of six, Susie's most treasured possession was a string of pearls. The fact that they were fake and didn't bother her. She wore them everywhere and played them everyday. She loved the pearls.

She also loved her daddy. His business often took him away for days at a time. The first day home would always be one of celebration. As an adult, Susie can still remember the time he spent a week in the Orient. When he finally returned, the daddy and daugther played all afternoon. As he put her to bed, he asked this question,

"Do you love me?"

"Yes, Daddy. I love you more than anything."

More than anything???"

More than anything."

He paused for a moment. "More than the pearls? Would you give me the pearls?"

"Oh, Daddy," she replied. "I couldnt do that. I love my pearls."

"I understand," he told her and kissed her good-night.

As she fell asleep, she thought about his request. When she awoke, she thought about it somemore. It was on her mind that morning and later in the day. Finally that night, she went to hime with her pearls.

"Daddy, I love you more than these. Here, take them."

I'm so glad to hear that," he said, standing and opening his attache case.

"I bought you a gift"

She opened the small flat box and gasped. Pearls. Genuine pearls

You suppose your Father wants to give you some as well? He offeres authenic love. His devotion is real deal. But he won't give you the genuine until you surrender the imitations.

What pearls is he hoping you'll release? What costume jewelry would he love you to drop? Would you exchange the lesser gifts for the highest gift of knowing God? If you would, then your envywill pass. Jealousy has no fire when true love is received
