The Greatest



I Corinthians 13:13. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Who says 13 is unlucky?  This love chapter is #13, and there are 13 verses – full of life and love!

Faith, hope, and love.  I suppose these three words are engraved on more mugs, plaques, and jewelry than any other. 

We all want faith. We desire something to be worthy of our faith, and we want to be worthy of the faith of others. 

We can’t live without hope.  We must have hope beyond that which we see and experience here on earth, or we are miserable. Hope keeps us going.

We will not be complete without love.  This must be why it’s the greatest.

Faith grants us the ability to see what which is not, as though it is.  Hope is the expectation of good things to come.  But love is the binding agent that holds all of that together, the love of God that runs over our heart like warm honey on a stack of hot pancakes.

11 days left until the 14th of February – is it just another day to you?  Or do you celebrate love?

I pray that the love of God fills your heart so that you are complete in Him.
