Day 10
If love is the greatest, then who is the greatest? God. Jesus. Because God is Love. When we choose to love, we are choosing Jesus! Because Jesus chose us. Putting on love is putting on Jesus and putting off the old self.
Love is greater than the Law. When we know how much God loves us, the law will make sense. Life will begin to make sense. All things will make sense.
Will you choose love from today? What about you, husbands and wives? Co-workers? Church leaders? What about you, brothers and sisters? Do you love your neighbours? Do you love each other? Then treat each other with the qualities mentioned in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7.
"Dear Lord, Help me to love . . . (you can supply the name) with the type of love described in I Corinthians 13:4-7."
"So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love." - 1 Corinthians 13:13 (English Standard Version)
"Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love." - 1 John 4:7-8 (English Standard Version)
"Lord, help me love those around me with the true love that you have shown and taught me. Help me put on Jesus everyday and discard any animosity I have towards others. For there is only one reason to love for You are love, and by this virtue there is absolutely no reason to hate. In Jesus’ most precious and loving name, Amen!"
