I thank the Lord for another day has ended and for the new gig of my husband tomorrow. For the first time, last week, I posted an ad at olx.ph on my husband's acceptance of music gigs and trainings. And yesterday, someone contacted us requesting my husband to sing in a wedding ceremony. Yes, gig! Musical outlet for my husband, and additional income for us! Blessing it is! Thank God for olx.ph! :)
Tonight's verse:
"For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love." - Galatians 5:6
I like this verse and it says a lot about the love and faith tandem. If I may paraphrase the verse, I will say "For in Christ Jesus neither being good nor being not good has any value. The only thing that counts is FAITH EXPRESSING ITSELF THROUGH LOVE."
"Love is the fulfillment of the law", and "If I have faith to move mountains but have not love, I am nothing", are verses from the Bible (from Romans and 1 Corinthians 13 respectively) that affirm tonight's verse. A Christian is saved by grace through faith. But it is the love of God in and through him that says about his spiritual state.
Faith and love. These two must not be separated.
Thank you, Lord, for it is not by how good I am that I am saved. May the faith I have in You express itself through my love for you and my neighbors. In Jesus' name. Amen.
