If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 NIV
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE …
Love – in the week before Valentine’s Day we want to remember the real meaning of love. Without the motivation and expression of love, all “Christian” activities are more “activity” than Christian. Love is the expression of Christ’s character and presence in our lives through deeds done for others.
MY PRAYER …
Loving Heavenly Father, thank you so much for your demonstration of love in Jesus. Help me to love as he did – selflessly, sacrificially, and consistently, so others may know of your love through my actions. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen.
