Today in cell group, Jays did a good sharing on the topic of 'Love'. In 1 Corinthians 13 : 4-8, it says: 4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8Love never fails. Often we regard this passage to us HUMANS. As in, we often use this passage in weddings. We just narrow, or should I say limit the application of this verse to us, humans. But if we look at the bigger picture...why not look at it in God's point of view? In 1 John 4:8 it says God is Love. So God = Love Lets now change 1 Corinthians 13 : 4-8 from LOVE to GOD. 4God is patient,God is kind. God does not envy, God does not boast, God is not proud. 5God is not rude, God is not self-seeking, God is not easily angered, God keeps no record of wrongs. 6God does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7God always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8God never fails. How powerful is that? That's God's promise to us. So whenever you're down..do remember that God is love and He'll ALWAYS be there no matter what! =) |
