I am happy I did my QT before I logged on. I like it when I am disciplined. It makes me feel that I am using my time fruitfully.
What I understand from this passage is that, God can bless us with spiritual gifts. We can be the best preacher, the best worship leader, the best CG leader, we can say the right things all the time, we can be one of those who seem to possess every spiritual gift that God can give. The bible even says, that even if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but in all our service, if we have not love. then we are nothing, we gain nothing, we are just a noisy gong or clanging cymbal. Paul then went on by saying what love is:
Love is patient and kind;
love does not envy or boast;
it is not arrogant or rude.
It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends.
And he summarises by saying: So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
I need more love in me not to insist on my own way, to bear all things and endure all things. Show me how, Lord...
