1 Corinthians 13:4-7 (NKJV) 4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Sometimes we all need a reminder about certain things.
We learn God’s word and we begin applying His principles to our lives, and as we do so, we see our lives change for the better.
We become softer and more receptive to His spirit. We are less harsh, less critical, less cynical.
And then the world starts to rub off on us. Sometimes it’s due to things that happen to us. Other times it’s just from being in the world, rubbing shoulders with everyone on a daily basis. Either way, it’s always good when our memory is refreshed and we hear God’s voice.
So today’s memory refresher is about love.
Love has been badly abused. It has become misunderstood. It has even been abandoned by some, because they mistook infatuation or lust for love.
Real love has the qualities in the verses above. Love is not perfect, unless it comes from the One who is love. But as human beings and followers of Christ, it’s our obligation to learn what God says love is and then walk it out.
1 John 4:8 (NKJV) 8 He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
