Prophetic Soaking Music

Letting go - again


Okay - I may be kinda wordy tonight but in my defense -  it is quite justified.


You see sometimes you need to be. Plain and simple.

Today is one of those days.
I have been giving allot of thought these days to a precious, dear soul in my life. Someone I love more than I could possibly put into words. A relationship that is, at present, someone strained, to put it mildly. I have shed enough tears over this relationship to flood a small village. I have said more prayers than I ever knew I had in me. I have lost more sleep and worried enough concerning this one relationship that I even caused myself to doubt my own faith - (I have resolved this. No more doubt!) 

 NOW - it is time for PEACE.
****
NOW - it is time for LOVE.

True love - selfless love - 1 Corinthians 13 kinda love -  Letting go of what "I" would like in "my" life with this relationship and let God take hold of this precious child and bless them in their life - unfettered - with no strings attached - unconditionally - yes- this kinda love .



Letting go - because I love you.

Love


1 Corinthians 13



I may speak in the tongues of men, even angels;
but if I lack love, I have become merely
blaring brass or a cymbal clanging.

I may have the gift of prophecy,
I may fathom all mysteries, know all things,
have all faith — enough to move mountains;
but if I lack love, I am nothing.

I may give away everything that I own,
I may even hand over my body to be burned;
but if I lack love, I gain nothing.
 
Love is patient and kind, not jealous, not boastful,
 
not proud, rude or selfish, not easily angered,
and it keeps no record of wrongs.
 
Love does not gloat over other people’s sins
but takes its delight in the truth.
 
Love always bears up, always trusts,
always hopes, always endures.

Love never ends; but prophecies will pass,
tongues will cease, knowledge will pass.
 
For our knowledge is partial, and our prophecy partial;
 
but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass.

When I was a child, I spoke like a child,
thought like a child, argued like a child;
now that I have become a man,
I have finished with childish ways.

For now we see obscurely in a mirror,
but then it will be face to face.
Now I know partly; then I will know fully,
just as God has fully known me.

But for now, three things last —
trust, hope, love;
and the greatest of these is love.




Everything Has it's Season - Everything

Ecclesiastes 3



For everything there is a season,
a right time for every intention under heaven —
 
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,
 
a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,
 
a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,
 
a time to throw stones and a time to gather stones,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,
 
a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to discard,
 
a time to tear and a time to sew,
a time to keep silent and a time to speak,
 
a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

Right now is my time to let go - again
