A LESSON ON LOVE!

Have you ever read

1Corinthians 13?

If you have,
remember what it
says?

1 CORINTHIANS 13: 1-8

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not
love, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries,
and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove
mountains, and have not love, I am nothing.
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my
body to be burned, and have not love, it profiteth me nothing.
Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself,
is not puffed up.
Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not easily
provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the
truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all
things.

Love Never Fails!

Those werent Pauls words;

those words were inspired
by God and they show how
He feels; they expose His
heart and how He judges
when it comes to
accomplishments vs. love.

It says that if you do all those things, but

dont have love, it profits you nothing.

No profit = No good.
That means that things
done without love, or
things accomplished at the
cost of showing love and
compassion and care for
others, are unprofitable
work a waste of time,
idle work, useless work,
work no better in His eyes
than the idle words youll
have to give account for.

No profit means that it didnt help you any. You

might think that your haste and hurry and the lacks
in your kindness and consideration of others will be
justified in the end, but they wont be.

The
end
will not
justify
the
means.

You can
rush
through life
getting
stuff done,
but you will
have failed
if you dont
take time to
care for
others

to love them, and to even delay the

more important things you have to do
in order to
show those
immediately
around you
that you care
about them
and their
needs and
that they
matter to you.

Theres nothing
that can
compensate for
a lack of love.
There are no
works that you
can do which will
make it okay that
you didnt care
for those around
you.

And since you cannot make up for a lack of

love, the only solution, if you want your life
to amount to anything in the next world is to
show that love.

Love is life.

Love is the only

way to live.

The
greatest of
these is
Love!

LIVING IN THE LORDS LOVE!

Love is like a stream. Some days it flows and rushes, for
there is plenty. On other days it trickles and you can see it
bouncing against the unseen rocks. But even when love is
dry and has lost its flow and lies nearly empty on the muddy
bottom, there is more love to come.
We remember how Jesus loved, how He forgave, and
how He reached out to show He cared. By using Jesus as
the Source of love, we can fill up the stream again.
Life has the extra dimension found in Jesus Christ. So when
you feel that love has dried up, reach out to Him, and learn
to love again.

Jesus is the Authority on love. He loves

when love is hard. He loves when love is
rejected. He loves when love makes little
sense. Jesus loves when others would
quit. Jesus loves when others are ugly.
If you havent yet, you can ask Him into your heart by praying the following:
Jesus loves when others are cold. Jesus
loves
others
arelife,
unworthy.
Dear Jesus, I want
thewhen
gifts of
eternal
love, and
purpose that You offer. I open my life and heart to You
now, and accept You as my Savior. Please forgive me for
all the wrongs Ive done, give me a fresh start, and help
me get to know you and Your love. Amen.
