Different personalities.
Richard D:
Kathy.
Your kind words towards me about giving wise counsel is of the Lord, its what God has shown me or taught me through misunderstandings of my own. God has also shown me when I become angry with what a brother or sister says it’s because I’m more self centered than God centered.
Being God centered is where patience reigns and anger dissipates. Being self centered is where anger reigns and patience dissipates.
In God’s Love. Richard.
Jackie Lee.
You’re a wonderful sister of mine in the Lord and after reading your reply I could not help but to think how your personality comes shining through with all the replies you post.
Jackie, just be you because that’s the way God made you and that my friend is good enough for me.
With love, your brother in Christ. Richard.

Hello, When, I think of all the personalities it comes to my mind that the scriptures say we are all one body. We have many members. All are needed.
I have often thought that when something doesn't seem clear to me take it to all my brother and sisters in Christ. I never think I have all the answers or I would not be asking.
I can tell much about all the personalities, but seeing a person helps alot. But, this is what we have and I never want to loose that.
1 Corinthians 12 verse 4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same spirit.
There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men.
1 Cor. 12 verse 12 For as the body is one, and all the members of that one body
being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
I Cor. 24 For our comely parts have no need: but God hath tempered the body together, having given more abundant honour to that part which lacked:
Verse 25 That there should be no schism in the body; but that the memebers should have the same care for another.
In 1 Cor. 13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity , I am become as sounding brass, or tinkling cymbal.
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my foods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity it profiteth me nothing.
I just wanted to take some verses that shows gifts that we have but not all may have them. But, having all the gifts profits nothing if we do not have charity (LOVE)
I believe that we are made of many personalities and all is needed, but always seasoned with (LOVE
I find Love on here. I find us all one in spirit.
We are many personalities with one body and spirit.
In His Love,
Marlene

Your reply really touches my heart as I read through it and wanted to say thank you for adding to this thread also. One of the things I most delight in is witnessing the progression of any thread and seeing the abundance of knowledge that enlightens each and every one of us throughout the thread.
Could anything like this be found in a church? There is no doubt in me this is truly a God ordained forum and those who hearts God has touch will feel at home here.
Thank all of you who have read this thread and also those of you who have added another pearl to this thread that our brother and sisters in the Lord may make these pearls their very own.
:) In God’ Love. Richard. :)
