1 Corinthians 13:4-13


 4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record
of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always
protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
 8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there
are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9For
we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10but when perfection comes, the
imperfect disappears. 11When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a
child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind
me. 12Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to
face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
 13And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is
love.

Meditation
1. True spirituality has nothing to do with one’s gifts, training, or performing
skills.  The truly spiritual person is the individual whose attitude and actions
express love.
2. Copy verses 4-7 on an index card, memorize it, or bring it out to review
often.  Examine my own attitude and actions often to see if there is any love
expressed.

Personal Note:
God is love.  For God so love the world that he sent his one and only son Jesus Christ to die on the Cross.  We as follower of Jesus Christ should be identity by the way we love one another.  I cannot see how I can be a loving person apart from the love of Jesus Christ.
