1 Corinthians 13 - Today

"1. If I can speak five different languages that I've learned from my time on the mission field, and if I've had the gift of tongues for years now, but I don't have love enough to hold my tongue from gossiping or putting down others, then I've not only become a whole lot of useless noise, but I'm becoming a destructive influence on those around me.

2. And although I faithfully get all of my Word time and even extra, and I can get long, detailed prophecies in public or in private, and although I've memorized all the helpers and hinderers and their powers, and although I have a lot of spiritual faith and even the gift of healing, if I don't have love enough to sometimes sacrifice my "perfect" Word and devotions time to take the kids so the parents can get their Word time‚ then all those other things don't mean much to the Lord.

3. And even if I spend all day out on the front lines faithfully reaching the rich and sacrificially considering the poor and pushing Activated at every opportunity, but I come home and can't show the Lord's love to my fellow Home members, my day and all my "good works" are worthless.

4. Real love has a long, hard, frustrating day where nothing seems to have gone right, yet doesn't get snappy and short-tempered with others. Real love stays sweet for the sake of others no matter what—just because it's the loving thing to do. Real love doesn't mind when someone else gets a better room, or gets to go to a party, fellowship, or meeting that you didn't, simply because real love is glad that the other person is happy. Real love actively fights pride, and actively embraces opportunities to do the humble thing.

5. Real love cares about being a good Christian sample, even to its fellow Home members and disciples, because real love is a reflection of Me. Real love doesn't complain, murmur‚ gripe, guilt-trip, or pressure others to get what it wants, because real love is too busy being concerned about the needs of others to spend much time worrying about its own needs. Real love doesn't get short-tempered and raise its voice with others. Real love doesn't get involved with unedifying System input, because it knows that to stay a pure, clean vessel of My love requires dwelling on the good things and keeping its channel clean.

6. Real love hates to hear gossip about others, and instead wants only to talk about the good that others have done and all the real and true ways that they're a big blessing and are great to live with.

7. Real love is flexible and has rise-above power that can help you take each day in stride and handle anything that comes your way. Real love is always ready to give the benefit of the doubt‚ and believe that someone's motives were good, pure, and honest. Real love hopes that others can reach their full potential and gives them the opportunity to do so by never losing faith in them. Real love doesn't run out of faith and patience.

8. Real love never fails someone else by depending only on the love stored in an earthly heart. Real love looks to Me to receive My complete love with which to love others, so that it will never run out. Anything else in the whole world can fail, except that which comes from Me. You can fail and even receive an incomplete prophecy‚ confusing or useless tongues, and your own knowledge can completely mislead you.

9. Because you're just a fallible person, and your grasp of the things of Heaven is only partial at best.

10. But when My Spirit of Love lives in you‚ it can override all your mistakes and fallibilities and can help you to grasp these deeper things of the spirit and live them.

11. You can all be such immature children with My Law of Love: The way you talk about it is childish, the way you think about it is childish, the way you act on it is childish; but I'm challenging you to become spiritual adults and mature in your application and move past your childish ways.

12. For right now you're living the perfect Law of Love in an imperfect world, and there will always be mistakes or problems and things that you don't understand. But soon the day is coming when you'll live it perfectly in My perfect Kingdom, and then you'll understand it just as I do, and you'll know it was right.

13. There are a lot of good things in life, and a lot of things I ask you to do for Me‚ but nothing is as important as love!"

I just hope that this will inspire you as much as it did to me to keep on showing love, love is the greatest force in universe, and we're here on earth for nothing more than to spread love to one another, we as true christians should always show love, and everytime we don't we're failing our commitment to Him. that makes someone think... doesn't it? let's not forget it, and show more love.

Mathew 25: 45 "Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me"
