Mission Statement

28.30 | My life is in need of consistent refocusing. A constant center for which I can base all other things in life. I want to share with you the mission statement of my life. It's just a chapter out of the Bible and it is usually share when talking about love but I think this chapter is much more than that. The thing that always brings me back to a focus point is the part about the mirror. How when in the low points of the roller coaster of life we are but a poor reflection in the mirror and how we know only a part of who we are, even though we seem to fully know ourselves.

I think of it as if we know what we can become but just have yet to reach it. That in this low point of the roller coaster ride we have yet to reach full potential. I usually ask myself how I got in this low state or why I got there.

It usually all comes back to me putting God in the back seat and trying to do things my own way and in doing this I get my poor reflection. I tend to over-analyze things and that makes things complicated sometimes. I've learned that becoming a reflection of Jesus usually involves a simple task and a leap of faith.


I Corinthians 13:

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

It is not rude, 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.

For we know in part and we prophesy in part,

but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.

When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me.

Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
