Father God, let this touch someone’s heart today I thank You in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
These verses I am fixing to add will be the power of God’s love for each person and the church as a whole. As Paul Challenged the Corinthian church to adopt patience, kindness, humility, forgiveness, trust, hope, and perseverance. Love, Paul argued, was the greatest outward testimony of their inward transformation.
“It reads in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8; Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.”
1 Corinthians 13 is the thirteenth chapter of the First Epistle to the Corinthians in the New Testament of the Christian Bible. It is authored by Paul the Apostle and Sosthenes in Ephesus. This chapter covers the subject of Love. In the original Greek, the word ἀγάπη agape is used throughout the “Ο ύμνος της αγάπης”. This is translated into English as “charity” in the King James version; but the word “love” is preferred by most other translations, both earlier and more recent. In the now-famous “Love Chapter” of 1 Corinthians, Paul wrote about love that is put into practice. More than just a feeling or emotion, Paul writes less about what love is and more about what love does. The love of Jesus Christ, this kind of love should be a natural overflow of the believer’s heart and evident in everything they do.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 It is used often in Christian wedding ceremonies. The graces of faith, hope and love towards God and our fellow brothers and sisters are preferable to all the spiritual gifts, and the greatest of these is love. When you pray for others, take action to give a helping hand to others or even give of your treasures. God lets you see Him work in their lives and your own.
When you give to other, you will be blessed abundantly. Teaching others to overcome misery and to know God’s love for them is unconditional.
Father God, I love you, thank you, praise You and give You all the honor and glory for this new day. I thank You and praise You that You embrace all those who need Your healing touch. That You keep unity and love in the church. Keep a hedge of angels around Your church with love and protection. Lord Jesus, please help me to pass on godly love and influence on my children, grandchildren and others that they will know Your love and have a personal relationship with You also. Give me opportunities to talk about You and tell others true stories of how You have worked in my life, others’ lives’ and continue to do so to this day. Oh! What a glorious day this is going to be. I thank you, praise and give You all the honor and glory Lord Jesus. Amen.
