Loving Others

February 16th – 1 Corinthians 13:4-5

1 Corinthians 13:4-5

Loving others isn’t an easy thing to do. And although no one can love as unconditionally and perfectly like Jesus, we do need to love each other with that same Christlike love. That means practicing patience and kindness even when we are frustrated with those around us. Love isn’t envious of another’s blessings or based in arrogance and pride. It doesn’t intentionally provoke others nor keep a record of wrongs committed against us. A love like is isn’t possible on our own, but through God, all things are possible, including loving the unlovable.

February 14th – Psalm 86:15

Psalm 86:15

On a day in which love is the focus, there is no greater love to be celebrated than the one God has for us all. Even though we don’t deserve it, each day our Lord showers us with His unconditional love and blessings. Not because we are especially lovable, but because God is love! And it is in that great love where He demonstrates daily His amazing mercy, grace, lovingkindness, and truth. If not for His example, we would never know what a true, perfect love looks like! Happy Valentine’s Day. May it be a day spent in love!

February 13th – Matthew 22:37

Matthew 22:37

When asked what the greatest commandment was, Jesus’ answer was simple. Love. Love for God followed by love for others. Because love is the fulfillment of the law, and the very foundation of the gospel. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life.” (John 3:16) Out of overflowing hearts of thankfulness, how can we not love God with our entire mind, bodies, and souls! For to Him only goes the glory and it is He who alone is worthy of our worship and devotion!

My Way Or The Wrong Way – (1 Corinthians 8)

First Corinthians was written by Paul to the Corinth church in response to several areas in which there was confusion and division. In chapter 8, Paul is addressing the issue of whether or not it was spiritually correct to eat meat that had been sacrificed to idols. And his response tackles the difficult subject of how we as Christians are to balance exercising our freedom in Christ with our responsibility of restricting our freedom when it comes to edifying others.
