Bible Verse of The Day – 9-26-20

1 Corinthians 13:13 (NKJV) 13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Love is the greatest and most powerful thing we can spend time getting good at.

Loving someone who is good to us is oh so easy. But loving someone we don’t even know or like is so hard.

We cannot do it on our own. We need God’s compassion and strength to stick with it and be steadfast in loving one another.

Oh sure, we can walk away from people that make us feel uncomfortable or drive us crazy. But is that really what God wants?

Trying to love someone that is completely opposite of us can be very difficult. But we can always find a way to work it out.

As a matter a fact, we can actually learn a lot by loving someone that is opposite from us.

In our own marriage, we are very opposite in many ways. But we love each other deeply.

So, no matter how opposite we are, when we are apart from each other even for a short time, we very much look forward to being together again. We miss each other even if we are just out and about doing separate things.

How does this happen when we are so opposite? How can we even stand being around each other with such different ways of doing things?

It’s love! Love that goes beyond just emotions and feelings.

It holds us together like glue and causes us to keep pressing forward, understanding that there is more to learn in life than what we already know.

Love teaches us that there are always other ways of handling things or doing things.

Love isn’t just a feeling. It is an action we all need to take if we want a better marriage, a better friendship, a better workplace setting and a better world to live in.
