Love is more than a 4 letter word that means lust!
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.
1 Corinthians 13:4-5 New International Version
THOUGHTS ABOUT TODAY’S VERSE…
Love is NOT lust or SEX or even a sexual act, they are just lust or sex!
Notice that love does not focus on me or on self, but instead the focus is on others. Each of the qualities of love in the verse above is based upon an affectionate, compassionate, and forgiving attitude that regards others of value and not self first. It is an unconditional love. It is a God kind of Love. These principles are based on the way Jesus saw people. The Jesus kind of Love is the basis that makes our faith work. Did you ever notice that the middle of the word “sIn” is a big I! Did you know that I is one of the most commonly used words in the English language today! Too many times we let our self (our EGO, the “I”) get in the way and we forget to walk in love. Love someone today, with the ‘AGAPE’ love of God through Jesus. Put the I in your ego aside for once and see others as Jesus and the Father sees them. Through the Father’s Love. Love for someone is laying down yourself for the sake of them. Doing for them MORE than you would even do for your own self!
MY PRAYER…
Holy Father, teach me to notice others and value them just as You do. I know You loved me when I was not lovable, and redeemed me when I was not worthy. Help me to take my eyes off myself and see others as You see them. Help me to love others as You love ALL mankind. Father, give me the will to and the want to, to be able to change in the area of walking in love.
In Jesus’ name, Father, I pray.
Amen
