Life Dreams |
| by Ladycat |
| Dreams upon dreams of mountains set before me On a path through life Wide oceans calling my name Hatred stirred by things I should have done Things to make my life worthwhile Yet I can only sit and think about those things now I hate myself for following my rightful path in life I hate myself even more for living it and living through it Without a dream left in sight The seas of glory are washed with the blood of disbelief Who am I to choose now Who am I? |

The New Testament uses three Greek words to express love—eros (physical intimacy), philia (friendship), and agape (the love produced in us by the Holy Spirit).(Galatians 5:22) Our Father cares for us with agape love. He sacrificed His Son Jesus to bring us into a right relationship with Him. (1 John 4:10)
We are demonstrating agape love when we:
• Respond calmly to difficulties. To the Prodigal Son’s untimely demand for his share of the inheritance, the father didn’t reply with angry words about ungrateful children. Though the boy’s attitude must have caused pain, the man held his tongue and did not retaliate. In calmness, he could think more clearly and choose to love.(1 Corinthians 13:5)
• Sacrifice without complaint. The father, quietly and without complaint, gave the legacy as requested. Although he knew his son was committed to a ruinous course, he directed his efforts towards preserving their relationship. In so doing, he chose the way of love.
• Wait Patiently. Out of deep affection, the father allowed his son to leave and to stay away.What heartache he must have had; yet he remained hopeful.He waited for the boy to recognize that sin cannot deliver what it has promised.Waiting is feasible only through the power of agape love. (1 Corinthians 13:4)
The Holy Spirit’s work in our life empowers us to show selfless and sacrificial devotion to the development of another person. In that way,we become people who respond calmly, uncomplainingly, and patiently.
****************************
Which kind of emotion do you offer to others—human or divine?
Right now, I think it's still human love... It's far from what has been referred to as "agape". When I thought about how I reacted towards the negative attitude and actions of the people I love, I felt guilty because I discovered that none of what was described about agape love was present.... Until now I can't condition myself to be calm, uncomplaining and patient... Lord, change my heart into one that loves the way You do...

Praising the Lord in every situation...
Paul and Silas sang hymns and prayed to the Lord while they were unfairly jailed... Their calmness and gladness amidst the situation reminds me to trust God in all circumstances... Strong faith brings forth peace and calmness...
Acts 16:16-34
16It happened that as we were going to (A)the place of prayer, a slave-girl having (B)a spirit of divination met us, who was bringing her masters much profit by fortune-telling.
17Following after Paul and us, she kept crying out, saying, "These men are bond-servants of (C)the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation."
18She continued doing this for many days. But Paul was greatly annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, "I command you (D)in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!" And it came out at that very moment.
19But when her masters saw that their hope of (E)profit was gone, they seized (F)Paul and Silas and (G)dragged them into the market place before the authorities,
20and when they had brought them to the chief magistrates, they said, "These men are throwing our city into confusion, being Jews,
21and (H)are proclaiming customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being (I)Romans."
23When they had struck them with many blows, they threw them into prison, commanding (K)the jailer to guard them securely;
24and he, having received such a command, threw them into the inner prison and fastened their feet in (L)the stocks.
25But about midnight (M)Paul and Silas were praying and (N)singing hymns of praise to God, and the prisoners were listening to them;
26and suddenly (O)there came a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison house were shaken; and immediately (P)all the doors were opened and everyone's (Q)chains were unfastened.
27When (R)the jailer awoke and saw the prison doors opened, he drew his sword and was about (S)to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
28But Paul cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Do not harm yourself, for we are all here!"
29And he called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before (T)Paul and Silas,
30and after he brought them out, he said, "Sirs, (U)what must I do to be saved?"
32And they spoke the word of the Lord to him together with all who were in his house.
33And he took them (X)that very hour of the night and washed their wounds, and immediately he was baptized, he and all his household.
34And he brought them into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly, having believed in God with (Y)his whole household.

If you have found this information of value, you may want to forward this test to a friend.
We have discovered that people often have a combination of two or three gifts that makes them unique. This would be shown by the top two or three percentages in your profile. There is a possible 100% for each gift.
THE GIFT OF SHOWING MERCY:
The Greek word for mercy is "eleeo". In the New Testament, those with the gift of mercy are: 1) compelled to have compassion for people, 2) help people in misery, and 3) pity the ignorant and instruct them.
People gifted with mercy are the first to listen and sympathize when someone is suffering. They feel that sympathizing with others is a valuable use of their time. This gift is concerned with the condition of the person who is suffering or in trouble. Often people with this gift have a strong desire to relieve the pain of others. This is why people with the gift of mercy are usually effective in roles that require compassion, such as physical therapists, social workers, counselors, or where they can listen to the problems of others, such as human resources where employee concerns are addressed.
It is this ability to show compassion and mercy that enables the person with this gift to demonstrate a large amount of patience. They are less likely to become frustrated when people repeatedly come to them with problems unlike those gifted in the other areas.
