The Most Excellent Way

"And now I will show you the most excellent way.

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails...

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."

I Corinthians 12:13b-13:1-8a,13 (NIV)


On Valentine's Day love is the theme, right? But the worldly view of love and the biblical view of love are two very different things. I encourage you to take a good look at what our heavenly Father's view of love is, how He displays His love for us. The shallow, meaningless views of this world pale by far in comparison to the Greatest Love of All. Be encouraged. You are loved. You are valued. You are treasured. You are pursued and sought after by the only One who can truly fill you. Rest in His love today.
