Your eyes

"The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness." Luke 11.34

While good eyes appreciate the beauty of virtue, evil eyes do not rest until they find faults within the details. Good eyes always see the good in people, but evil eyes will always have criticism.

Powerful Word

"For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." Hebrews 4.12

It's the only word capable of generating power to create, save and transform any human being. God does not require perfection, holiness, purity or any other virtue. Only a vote of confidence that He will do everything He promised to do. Those who propose themselves to believe in it will have the Personal Answer from the Almighty.

The wise

"Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like." Luke 6.47

Wisdom is a virtue that few possess. Not because it is only available to a few people. But because few are willing to pay the price to acquire it.
The teachings of Jesus, when practiced, can materialize the impossible dreams. Those who are wise invest in it and reap a lifetime of distinction from the foolish.

PATIENCE

"I waited patiently for the Lord, and He inclined to me and heard my cry."     Psalm 40.1

Trust is a virtue very few people possess. This is why very few people are also saved. Those who trust in God's promises aren't shaken by the storms. Instead, they wait patiently for their blessings because they trust that He who promised them is faithful and does not fail.

CLEARANCE SALE

"Who can find a virtuous wife? For her worth is far above rubies."    Proverbs 31:10

Physical beauty is eye-catching and deceives the heart. But the wise woman's virtues are what makes her a precious rare gem. The man that finds her, will be the happiest man on Earth, because she will truly be a suitable helper. The hard part is finding her, seeing that there is an ongoing "clearance sale" open to the public.

Lowliness

"With all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love..."

Ephesians 4:2


There are many times that we need patience with our neighbor, be it by imposition, or by inconvenience. We can only really endure it because we've tasted the Celestial virtue.

FAITH SUPPLEMENT - 1

"For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge,and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love." 2 Peter 1:5-7

To supplement faith with virtue means making it a habit to do good, avoid evil and be righteous. That is how those who are born of God live.
