It’s All About Love

“And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing” 1 Corinthians 13:2, KJV.

When my husband and I were married, I thought I came to the marriage a spiritual giant that could show him many things. Since I had been saved longer, I was planning to show him how to win spiritual battles in prayer, how to prophesy, how to quote scriptures and how to storm the gates of heaven and get God to move. I was so impressed with myself and my “spiritual growth”

…until

I kept coming across situations where I had to love people. I kept facing situations where I needed to be patient…kind…believe the best…and forgive. I would fail the love tests almost every time.

All of my faith and all of the Bible knowledge I had didn’t mean anything because I didn’t know how to love the way God had instructed me to. He helped me to locate where I really was spiritually, and little by little and day by day, the LORD began the process of planting His seed of love in my heart and causing it to grow. He began to show me through His Word and through my husband’s example, how to lay down my life for others, how to accept people for who they are and how to love them through the challenges they faced.

My sister, it doesn’t matter how much you can pray if you don’t know how to love people in a way that pleases God. It doesn’t matter how many Bible verses you can quote verbatim if you don’t know how to treat people right. A sign of true spiritual maturity is in your ability to love like Jesus.

Challenge: Take a closer look at 1 Corinthians 13 and see how well you measure up to God’s standard of love.

Prayer: Father God, thank you for speaking directly to my heart. I need you to teach me how to love. I haven’t been doing a good job at it. Plant your seed of love in my heart and cause it to grow and produce visible results in my life. I want to grow spiritually. I desperately want to learn your ways of doing things. Help me LORD to be more like you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

    🎤Love is patient, caring, love is kind..
    Love is felt most when it’s genuine..
    But I’ve had my share of love abuse..
    Manipulated & it’s strength misused..
    And I can’t help, but give You Glory..
    When I think about my story..
    And I know..
    You favored me because my enemies did try..
    But couldn’t triumph over me..
    Yes they did try..
    But couldn’t triumph over me🎵
    Lord, I Thank You..I Thank You..I Thank You for YOUR LOVE..THAT SURPASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING & IS UNCONDITIONAL!!! THANK YOU LORD FOR LOVING ME!!!
    After taking the “Love Challenge”, I ALMOST got it ALL right😕..but ALMOST, DOESN’T COUNT!! Lord, HELP/TEACH ME..to not hold on to HURT & PAIN!! I know I’ve said it over & over & over again..I’m NOT angry with ANYONE but sometimes it’s HARD to FORGET the hurt & pain they’ve caused. I can NOT be “phony” & smile, laugh & have a conversation with “them”..I’d rather us NOT have dialogue..I can be in the same room with them, work with them, go to Church with them..but I KNOW who you are!! I’m NOT angry..I just don’t want to “set” myself up AGAIN..When you know better, you do better! That’s MY way of thinking..not saying it’s right..because I MUST LOVE THEM..INSPITE OF..Lord, I NEED YOU TO WORK ON ME!! Plant Your seed of LOVE in me!! I don’t want to have those feelings..I don’t want to stay away from doing things I enjoy, just because I don’t want to talk to “them”..TAKE THAT AWAY LORD..PLEASE!!! THANK YOU LORD IN ADVANCE FOR MOVING IN MY LIFE..THANK YOU..THANK YOU..THANK YOU🙌🙌I JUST LOVE YOU LORD!!💓😍💕😍❤💝

  8. Thank “You” my Lord, my Father, my God, my Potter, thank You. To others, pray for my strength through this process. It didn’t happen over night so, neither will the process. The world has redefined “Love” into love hurts. And, many have adopted the changed meaning. In the beginning, we were given the truth, only to make it a lie. From love is patient, love is kind,… to love hurts. When God created us, it was out of love. When we disobeyed Him and sinned, He still loved us. Til today and through all our sin, He still is patient, kind… loving. Why should we behave any different? We know how it feels when love hurts and when love is kind, patient…!!! I thank “You” God for still loving me even when I didn’t love myself or others. Continue in me, “My Potter of Love, Let “Your” masterpiece be cloned over and over but, individually unique. Amen, I Trust You God.
