Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
1 Corinthians 13:1
Love in Your Life
Love is the foundation for everything in this world. It does not matter what we do in this life when we do not have love. Love is the evidence that God exists. It is the evidence of a changed life. Most importantly, it is the heartbeat of the Christian life. No matter what the motivation is, if we do something without love, we appear as a clanging cymbal to the rest of the world. In other words, someone who just makes a lot of noise but does not back up their actions.
God‘s love is the opposite. It is not one that makes a lot of noise, but makes a great impact. It is the check from an anonymous giver in the mail that helps someone survive another month. It is the prayers of many when their loved one doesn’t know the Lord or is diagnosed with a terrible disease. God‘s love radiates through his believers.
A Prayer to Remember
Dear Lord,
May my love for you shine bright in this dark world. May I bring hope to the hopeless. Amen
