A reminder for today
If I
could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn't love others, I
would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. (1 Corinthians 13:1)
How are you my friend? I do hope you are well and that my
words find you in a good place today. We are all travelling through different
circumstances each day and sometimes these challenges take us to a crossroad
where we must make a choice. Sometimes there are two choices and sometimes
there are many. We must never choose with our minds, but always with our hearts
where the Lord guides and direct us.
1 Corinthians 13 is probably one of the greatest pieces
Paul wrote. I love so many of his scriptures, but this one always stands out. What
is love? Love is a strong feeling of affection or a great interest and pleasure
in something. Love is such a small word but it can change you forever. Love is
one of the most powerful feelings we can ever experience, because God is all
about love and to love is to understand God’s heart. Love is also easily
misused and misunderstood. We cannot love and hate at the same time. We cannot
love one and hate another. Love is a global thing and should always be the
same. So how does Paul say we should love? Paul says it so nicely so let me
quote his words:
Love is
patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It
does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of
being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever
the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always
hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
So let us love in the way that God intended us to love. Love
with all your heart and love with all your soul so that you will see people how
God sees them and experience life as God wants you to.
Lord, today we ask that you fill us with love, hope and
understanding. I pray that we will love completely and that we will seek your
ways in all that we love. Let us be love as you are love. In Jesus name.
Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus.
Cheers
