Love is A Commitment...

...to leave no one behing on the journey to God.


If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have the faith to move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away all my possessions, and even hand over my body, but do not have love, I gain nothing.

Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful. It does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.
1 Corinthians 13:1-8

Wow! This means as a christian, we are to exhibit God's love everywhere we go, in whatever we do, and in everything we say. It can be very challenging especially in today's fast paced, hot tempered, flesh driven society, but it is what we are called to do. As a virtuous woman, we have a responsibility to uphold these characteristics and be a vessel for others.

If this seems like its difficult at times for you, say this prayer with me...
Heavenly Father, please help me to harbor only love and truth in my heart and I pray for strength and endurance in this spiritual journey to fight the good fight and remind me to look to you and not man in the time of trouble. In Jesus Name. Amen.
