"Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within the reach of every hand and in moment of time."  Mother Teresa

"Love is the most important attribute of the standard of godliness set forth in God's Word. It is the essence of Christlikeness.  God calls us to show our love for Him by obeying His commands, just as Jesus did.
He also challenges us to let the love of Christ shine through us to our family, friends and even to those who seem as unlovable.
The only way that the world will realize the power of God's transforming love is by observing how His love energizes and governs our lives." CBN

Genesis 1:3-2:3  The first 10 commanding prayers of the origin in the power of the Holy Spirit

And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.  And God said, “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” So God made the vault and separated the water under the vault from the water above it. And it was so. God called the vault “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day.
And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good.
Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day.
And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.
And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the vault of the sky.” So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moves about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day.
And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals,[
a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
So God created mankind in his own image,
    in the image of God he created them;
    male and female he created them.
God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”
Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.
And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.
God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.

By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.

Hosea 14:4
“I will heal their waywardness
    and love them freely,
    for my anger has turned away from them.

Malachi 3:10-12

Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.  I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,” says the Lord Almighty. “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,” says the Lord Almighty.

Matthew 5:3-12  The 10 blessings of the Be Attitudes of the Beatitudes.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn,
    for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek,
    for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
    for they will be filled.
Blessed are the merciful,
    for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart,
    for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers,
    for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
“Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Matthew 5:43-48 
“You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’  But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,  that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.  If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

The Lord Jesus Christ, our Holy measure line and Holy vertical plumb line in one Holy standard of life.  The Way, the Truth, and the Life of God Almighty.


Revelation 22:9-11
But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your fellow prophets and with all who keep the words of this scroll. Worship God!”Then he told me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this scroll, because the time is near. Let the one who does wrong continue to do wrong; let the vile person continue to be vile; let the one who does right continue to do right; and let the holy person continue to be holy.”

JOY
" I never knew what joy was until I gave up pursuing happiness."  Malcolm Muggeridge


Joy to the world, the Lord has come. How often do we think about those words as more than just lyrics to a Christmas song" Along with peace, joy is a treasure for which people search their entire lives.  Christians know that lasting joy has already come--in our Savior Jesus Christ!  Imagine if everyone experienced the true joy of the season.  What would your life be like without the joy that God provides?  Do others know you've found His joy?

Psalm 78:70-72
He chose David his servant
    and took him from the sheep pens;
from tending the sheep he brought him
    to be the shepherd of his people Jacob,
    of Israel his inheritance.
And David shepherded them with integrity of heart;
    with skillful hands he led them.


Ps. 118:17
I will not die but live,
    and will proclaim what the Lord has done.


Job 42:12-17
The Lord blessed the latter part of Job’s life more than the former part. He had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand donkeys. And he also had seven sons and three daughters. The first daughter he named Jemimah, the second Keziah and the third Keren-Happuch. Nowhere in all the land were there found women as beautiful as Job’s daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance along with their brothers.
After this, Job lived a hundred and forty years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation. And so Job died, an old man and full of years.

3 John 2

Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.

Our marriage has nothing in common with Beelzebul, Satan, or Balaam.  It is a holy matrimony marriage in Jesus name.  Our calling is not for sale; it is from God Almighty from above with dove love and Spirit. In Jesus' name.  It refuses Delilah at its head and rebukes Jezebel in its midst. In Jesus' name.

Love between man and woman has its way in attraction, obstacles, and finally joy, excitement, achievement, accomplishment.  It is emblematic mission accomplished.  It is resolution, solution, and conclusion.  Marital love between husband and wife.

Love in Christ Jesus is the Lord Jesus Himself - fully man, fully Spirit, fully Holiness, fully Wisdom, fully Redemption, and fully Resurrection.  The Lord Jesus was fully Holy Spirit in the virgin Mary's womb.  Adam was fully man from the earth with the breath of God Almighty.

Colossians 1: 15-20 The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.  For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

Psalm 36:1-3
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.
        His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the God of gods.
        His love endures forever.
Give thanks to the Lord of lords:
        His love endures forever.

Generosity
"The measure of a life, after all, is not its duration but its donation."    Corrie ten Boom

Hospital, prison, and cemetery always claim people.  They also agree to build humanity and character.

Silence is God Almighty's mark of authority.  It is His attitude of wisdom.  God's silence expresses speaking, listening as well as His invisible and visible presence - omnipresence, omnipotence, omniscience.

Whoever is pregnant with evil
    conceives trouble and gives birth to disillusionment.
Whoever digs a hole and scoops it out
    falls into the pit they have made.
The trouble they cause recoils on them;
    their violence comes down on their own heads.

I will give thanks to the Lord because of his righteousness;
    I will sing the praises of the name of the Lord Most High.
Psalm 7:14-17


Then you will understand what is right and just
    and fair—every good path.
For wisdom will enter your heart,
    and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.
Discretion will protect you,
    and understanding will guard you.

Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men,
    from men whose words are perverse,
who have left the straight paths
    to walk in dark ways,
who delight in doing wrong
    and rejoice in the perverseness of evil,
whose paths are crooked
    and who are devious in their ways.


Wisdom will save you also from the adulterous woman,
    from the wayward woman with her seductive words,
who has left the partner of her youth
    and ignored the covenant she made before God.
Proverbs 2:9-17


Many claim to have unfailing love,
    but a faithful person who can find?

The righteous lead blameless lives;
    blessed are their children after them.


When a king sits on his throne to judge,
    he winnows out all evil with his eyes.


Who can say, “I have kept my heart pure;
    I am clean and without sin”?


Differing weights and differing measures--
    the Lord detests them both.


Even small children are known by their actions,
    so is their conduct really pure and upright?


Ears that hear and eyes that see--
    the Lord has made them both.
Proverbs 20:6-12


But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make clear to you. Only let us live up to what we have already attained.

Join together in following my example, brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do. For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.

Philippians 3:7-21

"Reputation is what men and women think of us. Character is what God and the angels know of us."
- Thomas Paine, one of the kind of us.

Defensiveness is not perfection, but it is a right act to stabilize something.

Rightness is the fact to be right, to observe rules, standards to live by.  It is to be just and full of justice. It is to align to the will of what is lawful, faithful, upstanding and diligent. 

Righteousness is the fullness of righteous acts and facts based on law and obedience and faith in God.

Blessed is the one
    who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
    or sit in the company of mockers,
but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
    and who meditates on his law day and night.
That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
    which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither--
    whatever they do prospers. Psalm 1:1-3


Why do the nations conspire
    and the peoples plot in vain?
The kings of the earth rise up
    and the rulers band together
    against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,
“Let us break their chains
    and throw off their shackles.”

The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
    the Lord scoffs at them.
He rebukes them in his anger
    and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
“I have installed my king
    on Zion, my holy mountain.”


I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:

He said to me, “You are my son;
    today I have become your father.
Ask me,
    and I will make the nations your inheritance,
    the ends of the earth your possession.
You will break them with a rod of iron
;
    you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”


Therefore, you kings, be wise;
    be warned, you rulers of the earth.
Serve the Lord with fear
    and celebrate his rule with trembling.
Kiss his son, or he will be angry
    and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
    Blessed are all who take refuge in him. Psalm 2:1-12


Discretion will protect you,
    and understanding will guard you.

Wisdom will save you from the ways of wicked men,
    from men whose words are perverse  Proverb 2:11-12


There are six things the Lord hates,
    seven that are detestable to him:
        haughty eyes,
        a lying tongue,
        hands that shed innocent blood,
        a heart that devises wicked schemes,
        feet that are quick to rush into evil,
        a false witness who pours out lies
        and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
       Proverbs 6:16-19


Therefore, my dear friends, flee from idolatry. I speak to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ?  Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all share the one loaf.Consider the people of Israel: Do not those who eat the sacrifices participate in the altar? Do I mean then that food sacrificed to an idol is anything, or that an idol is anything? No, but the sacrifices of pagans are offered to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to be participants with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in both the Lord’s table and the table of demons. Are we trying to arouse the Lord’s jealousy? Are we stronger than he?

“I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but not everything is constructive. No one should seek their own good, but the good of others.

Eat anything sold in the meat market without raising questions of conscience, for, “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it.”

If an unbeliever invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you without raising questions of conscience. But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, both for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience.  I am referring to the other person’s conscience, not yours. For why is my freedom being judged by another’s conscience? If I take part in the meal with thankfulness, why am I denounced because of something I thank God for?

So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God—even as I try to please everyone in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved.   1 Corinthians 10:14-33

 Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.
For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.”  In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.       1 Corinthians 11:1, 23-26


For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.
James 3:16-17

"Knowledge is horizontal. Wisdom is vertical - it comes down from above." Billy Graham

History is replete with learned men who steadfastly refused to acknowledge the Creator of knowledge and therefore lacked wisdom.  Perhaps you know someone who is intelligent yet lacks wisdom.  That's because true wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord, not the knowledge of man, and consists of understanding what God's Word has to say about every aspect of life.  Every day you follow God's plan makes you even wiser.

Silence is something, a reality at least.  Many a man agrees with agreement, but a man who agrees with disagreement who can find?

Brazen deals with hypocrisy and evil.  Radiance expresses the joy of the heart and from above.

Mortgage is a gage, a pledge to death.  It is a covenant to coffin, to cage, and gage to bondage.
Language is a gage to a tongue, i.e. a tonguage.  It is a covenant to word by obedience or disobedience, i.e. it is a covenant to the power of life and death.  It is a gage to serve the power of life and death.

                                         Forgiveness
"No creature that deserved redemption would need to be redeemed." C.S. Lewis

God chose to save us from ourselves by giving His only Son. That's why we should be quick to forgive, for we have tasted the sweetest forgiveness.


Hear me, Lord, and answer me,
    for I am poor and needy.
Guard my life, for I am faithful to you;
    save your servant who trusts in you.
You are my God; have mercy on me, Lord,
    for I call to you all day long.
Bring joy to your servant, Lord,
    for I put my trust in you.

You, Lord, are forgiving and good,
    abounding in love to all who call to you.....
But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God,
    slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.
Turn to me and have mercy on me;
    show your strength in behalf of your servant;
save me, because I serve you
    just as my mother did.
Give me a sign of your goodness,
    that my enemies may see it and be put to shame,
    for you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.
Psalm 86:1-5, 15-17


For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace. Romans 6:14

At the same time that my sanity was restored, my honor and splendor were returned to me for the glory of my kingdom. My advisers and nobles sought me out, and I was restored to my throne and became even greater than before.37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and glorify the King of heaven, because everything he does is right and all his ways are just. And those who walk in pride he is able to humble. Daniel 4:36-37

I will heal their waywardness
    and love them freely,
    for my anger has turned away from them. Hosea 14:4


Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”
Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.

“Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand bags of gold was brought to him. Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt.

“At this the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Be patient with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’  The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.
“But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins. He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he demanded.

 “His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it back.’
 “But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt.  When the other servants saw what had happened, they were outraged and went and told their master everything that had happened.
 “Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to.  Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’  In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.
“This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.” Matthew 18:21-35

Pardon -  par = by  (in obedience to or submission to),  don = gift
Pardon is action in obedience or submission to the act of giving Himself on the cross on our behalf as a model for us to follow for others (including self of mine, ourselves).


Forgive = give for

We must give our selves in remembrance in the vision for the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who gave Himself as a ransom us i.e. pardon.  Do it as He has done it in the same manner for the sake of others.

Excuse is not a good reason, therefore I repent with deeds (apology is not repentance).

I am made in the image and the resemblance of God Almighty, therefore my true 'he' or 'I' is in God Almighty.  I am the shadow of my true self which is hidden in God Almighty.

Believing in unbelief,
ignoring ignorance
are both attitudes and altitudes that determine who we are and what we have.

Integrity

"Sleep with clean hands, either kept clean all day by integrity or washed clean at night by repentance." John Donne

"Honesty is the best policy" is a notion that's gathered some dust!  Integrity has fallen on hard times in many areas of society.  The qualities of honesty, truthfulness, reliability and sincerity have often been pushed into the closet and replaced by hypocrisy, thievery, unfaithfulness and deceit. Are you as good as your word?  Christians must raise up the standard of integrity in a world where honor and uprigthness grow ever dimmer.

"if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."  2 Chronicles 7:14

He knows what he's doing
We do not get tired,
Of following the Lord in His way here below.
In the garden of Gethsemane,
At this broken time .

....

Yes, God knows what He is doing: life is a school
Where his child is taught by His Holy Word
Coming to His feet day after day to sit -
We will soon understand, at the approaches of the evening ...
When finally crossing the threshold of His house
We will then silence our poor reason,
Confused by contemplating unparalleled glory,
We will all say in chorus "He does everything marvelously."
                                           By Lucien Bouabré

Normally biased is a lie; it is sinful.
Reasonably defensible is argumentative.
They look alike:  
-1, 0, 1
n-1, n, n+1
end, neutral, beginning

Integrity is being in intimacy with oneness, allness, and wholeness with unity - unity with Jesus Christ.  That unity brings forth your individuality, your identity, and connects you to destiny.

As a disciple, you must have discipline, duty, determination for your destination and destiny.

2:16, 3:16, 4:16, 5:16, 6:16, 7:16, 8:16, 9:16 are numbers with a code meaning with involvement of you and your family, the neighbor and his neighborhood, the remnant and the remote areas of the earth.

13 (31), 03 (30) have God Almighty's seal of meaning.  It is a code of kingdom reality.

Kindness

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
    for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
    great is your faithfulness.   Lamentations 3:22,23


Wounds from a friend can be trusted,
    but an enemy multiplies kisses.  Proverbs 27:6

"As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust and hostility to evaporate."  Albert Schweitzer

​Kindness is a language the deaf can hear and the blind can see. Unfortunately it is often the first casualty in our battle with the clock.

Prayer of St. Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace.
​Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
O, Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand;
to be loved as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Beauty and nobility are unquenchable, unchangeable, and renewable every morning.  

Respect and consideration are not weakness and cowardice.

The kindness of God Almighty in mathematics - God's love through the law of gravity, restitution is given as follows:
9.8 = 10 - 1/5
that is 10 = 9.8 + 1/5

Notice 12 = 10 + 10/5

In Leviticus it is written, "The Lord said to Moses:
If anyone sins and is unfaithful to the Lord by deceiving a neighbor about something entrusted to them or left in their care or about something stolen, or if they cheat their neighbor, or if they find lost property and lie about it, or if they swear falsely about any such sin that people may commit— when they sin in any of these ways and realize their guilt, they must return what they have stolen or taken by extortion, or what was entrusted to them, or the lost property they found, or whatever it was they swore falsely about. They must make restitution in full, add a fifth of the value to it and give it all to the owner on the day they present their guilt offering."  Leviticus 6:1-5   See also Numbers 5:5-10

Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others. In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
rather, he made himself nothing
    by taking the very nature of a servant,
    being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
    he humbled himself
    by becoming obedient to death--
        even death on a cross!
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
    and gave him the name that is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
    to the glory of God the Father.   Philippians 2:1-11

The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.  For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross. Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation— if you continue in your faith, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and that has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven, and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.    Colossians 1:15-23

Humility

"Lord... where we are wrong, make us willing to change, and where we are right, make us easy to live with."  Peter Marshall

No garment is more fitting for a Christian than that of humility. While some mistake meekness for weakness, most people admire humility in others because it conveys a quiet strength of character that doesn't need applause from the world. In an age when many 'old-fashioned' values have gone out of style, modesty, respect for others and deference to God's authority are still widely accepted standards of excellence. A person who looks up to God rarely looks down on people.

Let us not allow our past to 'lord it' over us; rather let us cleave to  our present, which will bring us to our destiny.

Love is God Almighty's nature.  Wisdom is God Almighty's character and mind.  The Lord Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of the law and its Spirit.  

Silence is not quietness, nor muteness.  It is listening, meditating, studying, and a wise attitude of shutting up. 

Little spirit, humble spirit are two states of mentality - on one hand immaturity and on the other hand humility.

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.   Ephesians 3:16-19

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Ephesians 6:10-18

Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.  Hebrews 12:1

Authority
"If you are not governed by God, you will be ruled by tyrants." William Penn
 
The Bible tells us that one day Jesus will return to establish God's kingdom on earth.  Until that day, however, mankind will continue to pursue power according to the world's standards: wealth, fame, influence and so on.  Our mission in the meantime is to face the challenges of life with the strength, courage and authority that are ours through a personal relationship with Jesus 
Christ; to witness to others in the power of the Holy Spirit, to achieve victory over the power of sin.  CBN

The supreme authority of God is conjointly entrusted to parents, to religious leaders, to business leaders, and to government officials.  They have the duty and role of protecting, instructing, rewarding, and correcting those who are under their authority.  Those who are under authority have the duty and role of obeying and blessing those over them. They have the right of appeal to the supreme 
authority, God Almighty, when they are not satisfied.

Bridge number is the number of duodecimal system of the form 10n + (single, plural, prime number).
It is indivisible, whole, and all numbers.
Examples under 100:
11     23     43     61     79     97
13     31     47     67     83     
17     37     51     71     87
19     41     59     73     91

Bridge numbers are all and whole indivisible numbers.

All = Whole = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1.... (x All = Whole)

All and Whole are of the same kind.

Bridge and wall are built with the same materials
The bridge connects - that is for unity and oneness.
The wall separates, protects - it is for partition, separation, stronghold, and fortress.

The bridge number is an entity that connects, while the prime number is foundational because it is an indivisible entity.
