Come cheer on buddies and their families!
I may speak in different languages of people or even angels.
But if I do not have love, I am only a noisy bell or a crashing
cymbal. I may have the gift of prophecy. I may understand all
the secret things of God and have all knowledge, and I may
have faith so great I can move mountains. But even with all
these things, if I do not have love, then I am nothing. I may give away everything I have, and I may even give my body as an
offering to be burned. But I gain nothing if I do not have love.
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not brag,
and it is not proud. Love is not rude, is not selfish, and does not get upset with others. Love does not count up wrongs that have been done. Love is not happy with evil but is happy with the truth. Love patiently accepts all things. It always trusts, always hopes, and always remains strong. Love never ends.--1 Corinthians 13: 1-8
These are the words of the apostle Paul to the church
in Corinth. He wrote them because there was so much
fighting and inner turmoil in the church. In chapter 12
we read how the body of Christ is to function and then
these words in chapter 13 of how to love each other.
As we enter into the month of February which is often
seen as the month we celebrate those we love and care
about, I want to give you a challenge. Practice these
words of Paul on those who you may find difficult to
love. Think about the people in your life you struggle
with. Pick one to intentionally show the love of Christ
to throughout this month. May the love of Christ fill you
and your family in the days to come.
