Great love

10 June 2011

1 Corinthians 13:13 So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Peace is the absence of conflict, love is the absence of sin, hope is the absence of despair, these three things are something we should all be striving for. When we speak of absence it is implied that it cannot to be found, it does not mean that it is not there but in that moment it cannot be found. So we need to ask ourselves whether we just accept that within us there should be an absence of conflict, sin and sadness, because within us we are at peace with God and God is at peace with us, sin is overcome by love, love that God has for us and the love we have for God. The result of this is a hope in our spirit, a hope that comes from that blessed assurance that Jesus is ours.

Without love in our lives we have nothing, we may own the world, we may have many gifts, but without love it is meaningless. We may have to face many things still and in facing them we need to remember that we are loved and that it is not a superficial love, but a love that is beyond reason. We just love because we can! Be filled with love, a love for God and the things of God, a love for our neighbour and a love of who we are in Christ. We truly love God by loving others and doing for others whenever we may, and in so doing we show how much we love God.

Be encouraged today to be filled with God’s love.

David
