📖 Verse of the Day
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs."
Reflection:
In a world where love is often superficial and self-centered, Paul's description of love in his first letter to the Corinthians stands as an eternal standard. The love he speaks of isn't just romantic love; it's agape love—the same selfless love that God has for us. God’s love challenges us to elevate our human capacities for patience, kindness, and forgiveness. It dares us to step outside the realm of conditional love into a realm where love is not a reaction but a choice.
When we love like this, we are mirroring God's love to the world. We become conduits of His grace, vehicles of His kindness, and ambassadors of His endless patience.
Ask Yourself:
Is my love for others reflecting God's love for me? What specific aspects of 1 Corinthians 13 can I practice today to grow in love?
🙏 Prayer of the Day
Heavenly Father,
Your love is the truest form of love, an example I strive to follow each day. Help me to see people through Your eyes and to practice the patience, kindness, and humility that You show me. Guide me in suppressing my own pride, envy, and self-seeking behaviors, replacing them with a love that bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things. May my actions reflect Your love to those I encounter, drawing them closer to You.
In Jesus' Name, Amen.
🖋 Quote of the Day
