“The greatest of these is love…”

“And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.” – 1 Corinthians 13:13

Faith. Hope. Love. Do you have these? Do you abide in them? Abide: verb: to remain; continue; stay (dictionary.com). Remain, continue, stay in faith, hope,  and love.

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16). Let your love be what people see when they look at you. “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden” (Matthew 5:14). Love is a huge aspect of our faith, and also our witness.

Remember to show love to those around you, even those who are hard to love. People notice that. Would you rather someone notice that you are strangely kind or incredibly rude? I would much rather someone remember me as kind. If someone notices that, they may ask about the joy that is in you. What an incredible opportunity to witness about God’s unfailing love!

Be like Jesus! Think about what He would do when you aren’t sure what you should do.

 

“Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king.” – 1 Peter 2:17
