James 1:19-25Â Easy-to-Read Version
Listening and Obeying
My dear brothers and sisters, always be more willing to listen than to speak. Keep control of your anger. Anger does not help you live the way God wants. So get rid of everything evil in your livesâevery kind of wrong you do. Be humble and accept Godâs teaching that is planted in your hearts. This teaching can save you.
Do what Godâs teaching says; donât just listen and do nothing. When you only sit and listen, you are fooling yourselves. Hearing Godâs teaching and doing nothing is like looking at your face in the mirror and doing nothing about what you saw. You go away and immediately forget how bad you looked. But when you look into Godâs perfect law that sets people free, pay attention to it. If you do what it says, you will have Godâs blessing. Never just listen to his teaching and forget what you heard.

What Love Is?

Some children were asked what love is. The responses were quite interesting and instructive for us adults.
One said âlove is when my daddy makes a cup of coffee for my mummy and tastes a bit first before he gives it to her to make sure itâs ok.”
Another said âlove is when your puppy licks you, even when youâve been out all day.â
one said â you really shouldnât say I love you unless you really mean it, but if you do mean it you should say it a lot, âcause people forget.â
One boy said âwhen someone loves you they say your name different. You just know that your name is safe in their mouth.
And finally one seven year old said âlove is whatâs in the room with you at Christmas if you just stop unwrapping your presents and listen.â
