Bible Verse of the Day - February 14, 2023 Tuesday

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

Reflection on Verse for Today

This thirteenth chapter is widely regarded as the most comprehensive expression of love anywhere in the Bible. In fact, as we read through this passage, which is held in high esteem by a great number of people, we find that the word “LOVE” can be easily replaced with the name “JESUS” in virtually every instance. And rightly so, considering that Jesus exemplifies both patience and kindness.

Jesus does not harbor feelings of envy, nor does he engage in boasting or conceit. Jesus is not impolite, nor does He insist that His way is the one right way. Jesus is neither impatient nor resentful, and Jesus does not take pleasure in wrongdoing; rather, Jesus takes pleasure in the truth, for He is the Truth. And it is only in and through Jesus that we are able to suffer all things, bear all things, believe all things, and hope all things. When we think about this verse, let us go more deeply into the depth of its actual meaning and actively pray that Christ may be created in us so that we are enabled to love as He loves.

My Prayer

Heavenly Father, I pray that you would help me to grow the holy fruit of love in my life. I pray that I may always dwell in love and always strive to love as Christ loved. Protect me from feelings of envy and arrogance, and grant that the love of Jesus would be evident in and through me as a result of the work of the Holy Spirit. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
