Let's Talk about Love!

I got an interesting perspective today, while sitting in class.

One of the team leaders was giving her testimony, and sharing about God's love. We read through I Corinthians 13 - the Love chapter. - We've all seen it before. We all "know" what love is...- in our heads, but very seldom in our hearts.

To better understand God's love, she instructed us to go ahead and spend some time reading that chapter, and every time we see the word "love" to replace it with "God".

God's love, and our love. - I wince at the stark contrast there sometimes!

I encourage you to go ahead and do just that :-) - See what kind of revelation God has for you as you take it in, and meditate on His Truth.


I Corinthians 13:1-8

1Cr 13:1	THOUGH I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
1Cr 13:2	And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
1Cr 13:3	And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned,[fn1] but have not love, it profits me nothing.
1Cr 13:4	Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;
1Cr 13:5	does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;
1Cr 13:6	does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
1Cr 13:7	bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
1Cr 13:8	Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away.
