WILL YOU ANSWER THEIR SILENT CRY?
Philippians 2:15 (King James Version)
15That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

Silent Cry
In this world there is a silent cry that keeps getting louder as time flies by the depths of despair are getting deeper. The times are becoming more and more evident as the silent cries scream and yell, asking for an answer. The ones lost in the wilderness are looking to find their way home, as their silent cries draught out over the hills and valleys. There are ones lost in a sea of darkness, wanting, longing their silent cries weep for the true light. Some are lost in the cold, they cry out for warmth. The unwanted for someone to want them; the unloved for someone to love them. The depressed cry out for an unending joy. Ones down in their circumstances with no hope, cry for a hope that they have never known. The suicidal long for someone to care enough to show them a different way out of their troubles. The alcoholic and druggist for a way to stop and sooth their pain. Will They Find What Their CRYING FOR ONLY YOU CAN TELL LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE AS A GUIDENCE to help them find the way.
WILL YOU ANSWER THEIR SILENT CRY?
15That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

11/11 CRAZY LOVE: conclusion.
This marks the end of a great journey on what love truly means and also ways we can learn to love others as we do ourselves. At the beginning I thought I knew a lot and I soon came to find out that I knew nothing, now I know little and I will continue to learn what love is about. I thought I knew what God's love was and now I know it's impossible to know completely but I will continue to learn and continue to love, for God's love heals all wounds.
2And 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.
3And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.
10But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.
11When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
12For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
13And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
13Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
1 Corinthians 13 (King James Version)
1 Corinthians 13
1Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.2And 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.
3And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
4Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
8Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

10/11 CRAZY LOVE: what does love mean to you?
This is an interview question taken by my youngest two siblings that answers the question, what does love mean to you?
SAM age7: "Ah... chocolate, and a bucket of flowers and a teddy bear and God showing his love to us."
EMMA-LEE age 91/2: "I think it means true love, best friends and courage like you know how people have their best friend and I think it's about... love you know. It's more like most of it's about marriage. I think... am mm... there's more to it like love birds, how they can make a heart, loving, caring knowing and it's about did I say courage... It's about best friends, and all that a boy being in love with you, like at senior prom in the same class as you and you felt the true love that's love"

9/11 CRAZY LOVE: love likes.
This kind of love is the liking of objects like foods, goods, TV's, hair things, music, books sports, art and more. This kind of love is fine by itself but if it becomes more important to you then things that really matter like friends, family and God it becomes a problem. It slowly wains on your heart until it's what your thoughts become, what you become it drags on the people who are around you, soon people don't want to be around you and they start getting fed up. Your pompous attitude makes many people hate you and dislike you and this continues until there's nothing more important to you than that thing that started as a like and becomes an idol to you and there's almost no way out right? Wrong there is a way out and the best thing to do is abstain from that thing for a year then or longer until you can control yourself or give it up completely and give yourself fully to God and the rest of the important people and things in life will follow.

4Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
1 Corinthians 13:4 (New King James Version)
4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;8/11 CRAZY LOVE: the love between a child and parent.
The love between a child and parent is a love that is a bond full of patience on both sides, respect, care and allot more patience. When it comes to the love parents you have to understand there is both a maternal and paternal side to love. Maternal is the loving care of a mother to her child or children and paternal is a father's loving care to his child or children. A mother's love is more gentle, and constantly worrisome about the whereabouts of her children where a father is tougher, plays with them and teaches them valuable life lessons. In the Bible Ephesians 6:1-4 it talks about love of both parents and the children. "
1Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
2Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise;
3That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth.
4And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord." It talks about the love a child has for their parents through honoring the parents and the love of their parents through the act of not provoking their children to anger.
