DO NOT GIVE UP ON LOVE
1
Corinthians 13:1-13
DO
NOT GIVE UP ON LOVE
‘ Love suffers long and is kind: love does not envy, love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hope all things, endures all things. Love never fails.’
The list is so comprehensive and
exhaustive that it opens our eyes to human weakness and makes it appears as
though not so many a people of God can be said to exhibit these qualities. But
the truth is that the Scriptures are not written to “Perfect” and sinless humans. The Bible is written so that the
imperfect man may behold the holy writ and be transformed by the renewing of
his mind to conform to the image of the perfect Man, our Lord Jesus Christ.
Child
of God, have you weighed your life in the light of the above Scriptures and
found out that you are not measuring up? Brace up and do not be discouraged.
Never give up on love. Get closer to the scriptures to know what the will of
the Lord is and seek to do it. This will enable you to grow in grace. The more
you grow in grace, that is, in Christ Jesus, the more love you will exhibit.
Again, I say keep the Scriptures before you; determine to practice love in the
light Christ Jesus. Your resolve to love in the way of God will pay off, and
others will come to the light of Christ in you.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, help me to grow in grace so
that I may love the more.
