Today's scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:8-13
Love is the only thing that will endure. Love for God. Love for others.
Anything else we do on earth will “be done away” and “cease.” All spiritual gifts
that God has given us to build His kingdom will also cease. Because when we
stand face-to-face with our Father, we will have fulfilled His purpose on
earth, and prayerfully, we’ll hear, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”
And while we may understand some of God’s purpose and will while we’re here,
one day, we will “know fully just as [we] have been fully known.” The mirror
into which we now see dimly will be clear.
So while we’re on earth, we need to love as Jesus loves. With patience,
kindness, mercy, and grace. We need to love our brothers and sisters in Christ.
We need to love unbelievers and show them the love of Christ. And we need to
love our God—Father, Son, and Spirit—heart, soul, mind, and strength.
For, indeed, the greatest of all things is love.
