1 Corinthians 13:8 (NASB)
Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away

Last Sunday we read the entire 13th chapter of 1 Corinthians together. In verses four through seven, Paul describes what love is. Then in verse 8, he tells us that love will endure, even when all other gifts pass away.

It was verse 8 where my mind stopped to meditate. God is love. He unconditionally loves us, even when we are unlovable. It is not our gifts that He cares about. It is the love that we return to Him. For in the end, love will be all that is left, for love is why we were created.

Deuteronomy 6:5-6 (NASB)
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart.

God wants us to do all things out of love for Him. He doesn’t want us to do things, so we can earn His love. His love has been there for us even before time began.

Today, I pray praises and thanksgiving to my valentine, to God the Father, to Jesus the Son, and to the Holy Spirit who lives within me. I pray I will love Him more each day.

Always praying for the glory of God,
