Today we are going to talk about the fruit of love in our lives. I like to spend a lot of time reading in I Corinthians, and I just love how I Corinthians 13 (the love chapter) is sandwiched right between 2 chapters (12 and 14) that have impacted the church world so fully when it comes to spiritual gifts in the body. Even if we operate in all the gifts of the Spirit, but love is not evident in our lives, the gifts have no value. (I Cor 13:8) The Christian Spirit filled life should be evidenced most of all by LOVE. They will know we are Christians by our love! (I John 4:11) Without the fruit of the spirit (Gal 5:22) operating in our life, with love as priority number one, all of the other good things we might try to do are overshadowed and become not a beautiful orchestra in harmony, but a clanging cacophony – that sounds like discord, and ultimately brings discord. (I Cor 13:1). Let’s make a choice today to grow the fruit of love in our life. It will affect every area, and our families, our coworkers, and even strangers will benefit!
