| Characteristics of Love |
|
| TODAY’S SCRIPTURE |
| “Now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” |
| (1 Corinthians 13:13, NIV) |
|
| TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria |
Spiritual
maturity isn’t measured by how long you’ve been a Christian, how much
you know, or how often you go to church. Spiritual maturity is measured
by the way you treat other people. It’s measured by the love you allow
to operate through you. First Corinthians 13 tells us about the
characteristics of love. One characteristic is that it is not rude. That
means, when we are walking in love, we treat other people with courtesy
and respect. Are you courteous to other people? Are you kind to the
person at the checkout counter that may be moving too slowly for you?
Are you gentle when you are driving down the highway and someone cuts
you off? Are you patient with your family and coworkers? These are all
ways we show love.
Scripture
also tells us that love is patient. It is kind. It does not envy; it is
not proud. It is not rude. Love is not easily angered, and it keeps no
record of wrongs. Love never fails. Notice that these characteristics
don’t have anything to do with feelings. That’s because love is a
choice. You can choose to walk in love toward people even when you don’t
feel like it. Today, make the choice to do what is right. Choose today
to show kindness and be courteous to others. Look for ways to cultivate
the greatest thing in your life — love! As you do, you’ll move forward
into the life of blessing God has in store for you!
|

|
| A PRAYER FOR TODAY |
| Heavenly Father, thank You for loving me so that I can show love to others. Teach me to be patient and kind and treat others the way You always treat me in Jesus’ name. Amen. |
| — Joel & Victoria Osteen |
