Do you know of those
that are looking for love in all the wrong places? Everyone wants
to be loved, but are you ignoring what real love is? Do you know
what real love is? What is your definition of love?
Love |
If your are looking
for love, God's got it. Do you know of those that act like everyone
owes them something?
I recall a friend
that acknowledged he came from a loving and supportive family, but he
chose to go down the path of using drugs. Now when he became drug
free he was compelled to show his friends there was a better way of
life because so many had followed him down that narrow path. He also
shared with me it was not enough to tell people, but to show them by
his actions. Also, know that my friend had accepted Jesus Christ as
his personal Savior. God is waiting on you. Hebrew 13:5 He will
never leave you, nor forsake you. The prescription for love is in
the Bible.
1 Corinthian 13
Chapter. This Chapter has often been called the Love Chapter
Verse 4: Love
suffers long and is kind, love does not envy; love does not parade
itself, love is not puffed up. Do you know people that are kind to
others? Do you take the time to show kindness to others.? How many
times have you said to yourself, “If I only had more money or if I
only had a big house like Mary?” I have been guilty of this and
not realizing God has given me everything that I need. If I cannot
make it with a little, how will I handle more? I recall a
conversation I had as I stood in line at the store. I saw an
acquaintance that I had not seen in a long time. This person said
to me, “ I do not live in that part of town anymore.” Then
asked me,”Where are you staying now.” My reply was, “ I stay
in that part of town.” I say that to say that sometimes we can
get so puffed up, that we forget where we came from. We can forget
that there was a time we did not have a car nor even a house.
Verse 5
Does not behave
rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; I
can think of times when I have behaved rudely and I know so well that
it is not becoming. Can you count the number of times that you have
proclaimed this will be a good day and before you know it you think
an evil thought about someone or something?
Verse 6
Does not rejoice in
iniquity, but rejoices in the truth. Sometimes the truth may be
painful to hear.
Verse 7
Bears all things,
believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. This
prescription for love continues in 1st Corinthians down
through chapter 13.
Verse 13
And now abide faith,
hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. Think
about it. 1 Peter 4:8 And above all things have fervent love for one
another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins. ” Do you have
this love?
