1 Corinthians 13

Love never fails. So if we love, we won't either, no matter what our circumstances may be. Love is the reason Jesus lived and died on earth for you and me. Love is the gift that God gave us through his Son. We know that we are becoming like Jesus when we have love for one another. Love is not just a warm feeling, it is the qualities that Paul lists in 1 Corinthians 13. How does your heart measure up? Do you love the truth, do you put others first? Read through the list and see how you have demonstrated these qualities in the last 48 hours. Ask someone who knows you if they agree with your assessment!

Decisions:
  • Choose one characteristic of love and practice it each day.
  • Ask someone how to become more loving.
  • Demonstrate my love by serving someone today.

Key Phrase: Love is the reason Jesus lived and died
