That Which Is Not Of Eternal Value

Should Not Be Dividing Christians

 

I wrote this in my Bible many years ago, and came upon it on Sunday when turning to that page during morning worship. 

 

 

 

I may…

speak in languages of men or even angels

have the gift of prophecy

understand all the secret things of God

have faith so great that I can move mountains

give everything I have to feed the poor

give my body as an offering to be burned

 

 

 

But if I do not have love I am nothing.

I repeat – NOTHING!

 

 

Love

is patient and kind

is not jealous

does not brag

is not proud

is not rude

is not selfish

does not become angry easily

does not remember wrongs done against him

is not happy with evil

is happy with truth

patiently accepts all things

always trusts

always hopes

always continues strong.

Love never ends.

 

Excerpts from 1 Corinthians 13 ICB

Wow! 

Read that again

…as though this is your last day on earth and you are preparing to see the face of God.

 

  

I wonder how the world would change if every Christian practiced those principles?

How would my world change?

There are certainly days when I don’t hit the mark

sometimes I’m not even close to the target.

 

~~~

 

These three things continue FOREVER

faith, hope, love

but the GREATEST of these

is LOVE.
