Real Love

For this morning, I just want us to meditate of on I Corinthians 13:1-8a (NIV); one of my favorite scriptures in the Bible:

"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge , and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, O am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor an surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protect, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves.

Love never fails."


I get so touched by reading this, because this is REAL LOVE. This is the love that God demonstrates to us, and in turn, we should demonstrate to others. Want to learn how to love? Read above. Want to learn what love is? Read above. Anything else is not true love. God already gave us the blueprint of what love is, we just need to follow it.
