Love

If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don't love, I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. If I speak God's Word with power, revealing all his mysteries and making everything plain as day, and if I have faith that says to a mountain, "Jump," and it jumps, but I don't love, I'm nothing. If I give everything I own to the poor and even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr, but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere. So, no matter what I say, what I believe, and what I do, I'm bankrupt without love.

 (1 Corinthians 13:1-7, The Message)


I was riding home this evening, and the song "the proof of your love" by for king and country came on.  This verse spoke to me.  

Lord I pray that i love as you did.  I pray that I approach every situation showing the love that you would.  I pray that you fill me with the love that only you could.

amen
