Love Never Fails
“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.” (1 Corinthians 13:1-13)
Today’s Morsel: If someone were to ask you what your favorite love song is, what would it be? There have been many songs written about love. From country music, rock and roll, soul music, gospel music, to jazz music. When a heart is broken, people seek a song to sooth their emotions. Paul told the church at Corinth that love does not display attributes and actions that take away from God’s character. But true love displays his character in every situation and circumstance. And when that love isn’t displayed in the church the gifts of the spirit will cease because God’s love never fails. Today around the world millions will be spent on items to display love for others. But if you really want to show true love to others let Christ be magnified in your life.
Sing: I love you, I love you, I love you; What more can I say, but that I truly love you. And I will try to live my life, so that it says it to; I love you, I love; I truly love you.
Thought For Today: “And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.” (Colossians 3:14)
Happy Valentines Day!
