Friday 14 Love is the Greatest I Cor 13:9-13
Did you do something sweet for your sweetheart this today? Being the day that we celebrate romantic love, there is great pressure to get the right card, the right gift, plan the right date, order the right flowers and to “do” the right thing. Well, according to Dr. Warren Clark, (MR. Eharmony.com) romantic love isn’t so much about doing as it is about being. Most mates really aren’t all that concerned about the big prizes on a special day as much as they enjoy spending time in the company of the one they love. They like how good being around the one they love makes them feel. It is really true if both mates feel listened to and respected for their opinions and ideas. So, take some pressure off of yourselves today in the gift department. Make it natural to show love 24/7 by listening to each other, and respecting each other. Make love who you are. Since we are created in the image of God, we can emulate love, because God not only has given us His love, but He lives within us. Now the fun part is just to demonstrate love everyday! It’s not so much about doing as being. Although we say that love is a verb, and requires action, most mates would rather experience daily whispers of love, than one big present on Valentines Day each year. We don’t have to do anything to gain God’s love, it is just His nature to love you. His love is in us, so it’s your nature too! So just “be” your best you and love lavishly! I Cor 13:9-13 says this:
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. 13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
