The Greatest of These
from 1 Corinthians 13
Love {Charity} . . . Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
Love {Charity} never fails.
And now abideth faith, hope, love {charity}, these three; but the greatest of these is love {charity}.
Today, like every other day, we’ll make choices. We’ll choose to love or not to love. Valentine’s Day, we’ll make a choice. This Valentine’s Day I’ll be facing the choice to love in an extremely difficult situation. If not today, eventually those ethereal pictures we’ve painted of life and love will fade. Truth will come crashing down on our delusions of grandeur. We’ll have to choose.
Because life isn’t the fairytale we’ve been told.
How is it that we all know this yet we still struggle with making the choice to love? Every single day we’re faced with challenges in our marriages, our families, our homes, our lives. Sometimes our reality is far more traumatic than we expected. We didn’t plan divorce. We didn’t plan betrayal or death or rejection or heartache. The pain is real and it matters. It matters to Him. He endured it all for us—our sin, grief, sickness. He made the way. He is the Way.
His principles work. Those Scriptures many of us learned from childhood haven’t changed. There is no new way. He called us to love and bless when we’re hurting. He called us to stand on His Word when we’re facing impossible situations.
Because love covers.
Our pain matters. But we must choose His plan to find healing. Choose to love. Though it may sound trite, their is no greater power. The love of Almighty God for us, in us.
This Valentine’s Day as we make our plans and attempt to create an atmosphere of romance and passion, let’s remember to choose to love beyond our sorrows, griefs and trials. Let’s turn to the One who is love and openly receive that we may freely give. Because we can’t do it on our own.
In the words of Telecast’s song, The Way,
“Give me words to praise You and love to love You but it has to be You”
Let’s choose love.
Because love still covers.
I love you.
And I hope you’ll love me enough to remind me that love still covers when I need it.
