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.
In everything that we do, there is one motive that is pure; Love.
Love can overcome racism, bigotry, sexism, greed, envy, adultery, anger, selfishness, poverty and so many other things that we wrestle with or are affected by in our lives.
So much time and energy is wasted on trying to find solutions for many of life’s problems. But God has already shown us the right way… the Perfect way; Love.
Love will always put others first. Love will cause us to reach out to others in need. Love will cause us to see past a person’s sin or shortcomings and give to them, even if they don’t deserve it.
Love will keep us from judging someone based on their clothing, their attitude, their physical appearance, their race or their ethnicity.
Love overcomes fear. Love overcomes doubt. Love overcomes suspicion. Love overcomes cynicism.
If we could live our lives and leave only one thing behind as a legacy, let it be this; Love.
1 Corinthians 13:13 (NKJV) 13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
