“And now these three
remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”
I Corinthians 13:13
There is nothing more
powerful than God’s love living through you.
Unfortunately, we
often re-phrase that statement a bit to read as follows:
There is nothing more
lovely than God’s power working in you.
As believers, we are
not to be powerless; that is certain.
But I assure you of
one thing more certain.
As believers, we are
not to be loveless.
We can be you know.
We can be so adamant
about all that is wrong (and making sure people know it) that we fail to
reflect God’s love to people.
Power attracts
crowds.
His supernatural love
transforms lives.
Crowds disappear but transformed
lives bring Him glory.
You can be part of
the crowd, you can even be the ‘attraction’ that brings the crowd but how much
better to be that one who reflects His love in such a way that others are drawn
to Jesus Christ because of it.
Paul was certainly
inspired by the Holy Spirit when he concluded the 12th chapter of
I Corinthians, the ‘gifts’ chapter and transitioned
into the ‘love’ chapter with these words:
“And yet I will show
you the most excellent way.”
Will you follow that
excellent way?
