Bless and Be Blessed by Loving
March 2
But earnestly desire and zealously cultivate the greatest and best gifts and graces (the higher gifts and the choicest graces). And yet I will show you a still more excellent way [one that is better by far and the highest of them all—love].
— 1 Corinthians 12:31
Love should be number one on your spiritual
priority list. You should learn about love, pray about love, and develop love by loving others.
God is love, so when you walk in His love you abide in Him, He is present. Because we walk in God’s love by receiving and expressing it, we should not deceive ourselves into thinking we can love God while we hate other people (see 1 John 4:20).
We seek many things in the course of our lifetime hoping to find fulfillment. But most of these things disappoint. When we decide to walk in love we discover it not only blesses others, it also blesses us.
From the book Ending Your Day Right: Devotions for Each Evening of the Year by Joyce Meyer.
