Ephesians 4:26
"In your anger do not sin" : Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry,
Dearest friends, you were always so careful to follow my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away you must be even more careful to put into action God's saving work in your lives, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. For God is [Romans 8:28], giving you the desire to obey him and the power to do what pleases him.
PHILIPPIANS 2:12-13
God's purpose for our life is to make us like Christ. To do this, the Holy Spirit works in us, changing our desires and giving us the power to do what God wants. But God doesn't force us to obey him. He leaves that choice up to us. ["The problem IS..."] What has God told you to do? Do it. As you obey God in small matters, he will trust you with larger ones.

4 "Do not be afraid; you will not suffer shame.
Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated.
You will forget the shame of your youth
and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood.
5 For your Maker is your husband—
the LORD Almighty is his name—
the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer;
he is called the God of all the earth.
6 The LORD will call you back
as if you were a wife deserted and distressed in spirit—
a wife who married young,
only to be rejected," says your God.
[Isaiah]
Dearest, I know what it's like to "worry" as well. But dun worry, "you know...like Matthew 6..." (it's not THE ONLY passage that says not to worry) you don't need to even lift your non-fractured finger to keep me "tied" down. The other day before fellowship, I went on a 6+Km prayer walk to pray not only for the fellowship but for myself. One of the songs I decided to sing that day was... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkNooh1lFaU
Turns out when I was at Destinys' that night with SO MANY answered prayers, I did manage to catch a song playing in the background, maybe cause we were sitting in a bad spot or being noisy, who knows, but it was THE ONLY song I heard played there that evening. "Forever and ever..." Even this is nothing compared to other things I've seen Him do to show me His way...

My whole life, those who didn't want advice on relationships from someone whose "well read" in the topic always wanted me to "lead by example". Well AGAPE is "like the wind..." you can't see it, but He knows it's there... They say that marriage is supposed to be a representation of God's AGAPE "Here on Earth"... well if I am already able to bring people to Christ via my love for you... let's make the wedding into something really God glorifying :)
16 We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love.
God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. 17 And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world.
18 Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love.

Blowin' In The Wind lyrics
How many roads most a man walk down
Before you call him a man ?
How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand ?
Yes, how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned ?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
Yes, how many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea ?
Yes, how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free ?
Yes, how many times can a man turn his head
Pretending he just doesn't see ?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
Yes, how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky ?
Yes, how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry ?
Yes, how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died ?
The answer my friend is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind.
