Name a virtue and what it means to you

I'll start

PEACE
Without God's peace there are so many times that doubt and fear would have stopped me from carrying on with Him, but because of the peace He has given me even in the midst of trouble I know He sees me through it all and works things out to His glory.

Good thread idea!

~Humility~

We truly come to God when we feel broken and realize that we need His help. He gives life to those who feel they have none without Him. And He blesses those who come empty handed. 'Blessed are the poor in spirit'.
Lord, teach me more humility!

"To some who were confident of their own righteousness and looked down on everybody else, Jesus told this parable: "Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee stood up and prayed about himself: 'God, I thank you that I am not like other men—robbers, evildoers, adulterers—or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week and give a tenth of all I get.'

"But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'God, have mercy on me, a sinner.' "I tell you that this man, rather than the other, went home justified before God. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." (Luke 18)

God bless

Love.

Love should be our first and only law, because without it we have nothing.
Love is the only thing that can overcome hate, and we all know the famous scriptures... "Love is as strong as death" and "Love conquers all."

Great idea for a thread!

 

[JPPT1974]

Forgiveness as I think that we should
Forgive those that hurt us as well as
Know that when we are forgiven, then
God in heaven forgives us.

INTEGRITY
To me it means being a person as Jesus was, that was righteous in His actions, showing both mercy and justice. It means to be reacting to His ways and not to the world and the things of the world. I pray for less doublemindednes and more singlemindedness for Christ, even if it means seeming foolish to the world. That never stopped Jesus in His integrity.

Courage.

It takes guts to be a true warrior of Christ. Courage to overcome obstacles, to walk by faith, to hold on to the promises of God. Not letting fear control our destiny or circumvent our life's purpose is a great and worthy challenge.

May our light truly shine.....
