"Dede's Walk With God"
Love
Them Anyway
I
Corinthians 13: 1-13
(Good News
Bible)
I may
be able to speak the languages of men
and even
angels,
but if I have no love, my speech is no
more than
a noisy
gong or a clanging bell.
I may
have the gift of inspired preaching; I
may have all
knowledge and understand all secrets; I
may have all the
faith
needed to move mountains-but if I have
no love, I
am
nothing.
I may
give away everything I have, and even
give up my
own
body to be burned-but if I have no love,
this does
me no
good.
Love is
patient and kind; it is not jealous or
conceited or
proud;
love is not ill-mannered or selfish or
irritable; love
does
not keep a record of wrongs; love is not
happy with
evil,
but is happy with the truth. Love never
gives up; and
it's
faith, hope and patience never fail.
Love is
eternal. There are inspired messages,
but they are
temporary. There are gifts of speaking
in strange tongues,
but
they will cease; there is knowledge but
it will pass. For
our
gifts of knowledge of knowledge and
inspired messages
are
only partial; but when what is perfect
comes, then what
is
partial will disappear.
When I
was a child, my speech, feelings, and
thinking were
all
those of a child; now that I am a man. I
have no more
use of
childish ways. What we see now is like a
dim image
in a
mirror; then we shall see face to face.
What I know now
is only
partial; then it will be complete-as
complete as God's
knowledge of me.
Meanwhile these three remain: faith,
hope, and love and
the
greatest of these is love.
Note
From Dede:
There
are times in our lives when we all feel
trod upon by
others,
it can come in many forms. But we have
to remember,
we all
are sinners. None of us is perfect, and
if we want God's
forgiveness and love we need to forgive
and love others.
Dear
Lord,
I
desire today that you use my life as a
channel of Your
perfect
love. Almighty God, I feel stronger
when I
remember that You truly love me. Walk
with me so that
I might
feel the warm blanket of Your love.
Amen!
