“And if I have
prophetic powers ([a]the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), and
understand all the secret truths and mysteries and possess all knowledge, and
if I have [sufficient] faith so that I can remove mountains, but
have not love (God’s love in me)
I am nothing (a useless nobody).”
I Corinthians 13:2(Amplified)
God placed purpose in
our lives when He created us.
We are not a mistake,
an evolutionary product or a created being left to our own devices.
We have, whether we
acknowledge it now or not, a heavenly Father who breathed life into us and has
given every person ever born a unique purpose.
That purpose is not and
cannot be separated from His love to
you and through you.
Part of seeing that
truth fully realized in our lives is believing that life without His love is a
wasted life.
His supernatural love
is vital to fulfilling His call in our lives.
Apart from it we
simply cannot do what we are called and purposed to do.
Jesus walked in that
supernatural love.
Jesus finished what
He was sent to do.
He showed us how.
No life lived has
ever been as transparent or as documented as His was.
He spoke of the
Father’s love.
He demonstrated the
Father’s love.
He prayed that same
love would be in His disciples.
How can we live below
that and ever expect to do what we are created to do?
Instead of only placing
I Corinthians Chapter 13 in a wedding
invitation or as part of the vows in the ceremony how about we make it a
regular part of our prayer and meditation in order that we not take a step in
life apart from His supernatural love being real to us and through us.
As we do that I know
the contrast between His supernatural love working in us and our own self-centered
efforts at loving others will become more and more evident.
Anything else becomes
a waste!
