A Love Worth Giving

A lot boast that they give love to a lot of people but do we give it to the ones who really need it?

Almost everybody must be familiar with 1 Corinthians 13. A lot say that it is the best chapter yet in the bible.

1 Corinthian 4-7
"Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous, it does not boast, and it is not proud. Love is not rude, is not selfish, and does not get upset with others. Love does not count up wrongs that have been done. Love is not happy with evil but is happy with the truth. Love patiently accepts all things. It always hopes, always trusts, and always remains strong."

If you would try to replace the word love into your name, you'd be lying.

All of us are not like that.

We are impatient and unkind. We are jealous and proud, we boast. We are rude, selfish and gets upset with others. We count up wrongs that have been done. We are with doing sinful things because we think it contents us. We impatiently accept all things. We seldom hope, trust and remain strong.

But it's not a reason for us to give up. We may not be as perfect as love was described but we can try to be by experiencing love itself which is Jesus Christ.

Jesus is patient. Jesus is kind. Jesus does not envy, He does not boast, He is not proud. Jesus is not rude, He is not self-seeking, he is not easily angered, and He keeps no record of wrongs. Jesus does not delight in evil but rejoices with truth. Jesus always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. Jesus never fails.

Isn't it all truth? It is because Jesus is Love.

The Strength of God's Love

"Can anything make me stop loving you?" God asks. "Watch Me speak your language, sleep on your earth, and feel your hurts. Behold the Maker of sight and sound as He sneezes, coughs and blows His nose. You wonder if I understand how you feel. Look in the dancing eyes of the kid in Nazareth; that's God walking to school. Ponder the toddler at Mary's table; that's God spilling His milk. You wonder how long my love will
