For the past few weeks on Wednesday nights we have been learning about what we should not be motivated by: fear, guilt and tradition. Tonight we learned what we should be motivated by: Love. I Corinthians 13:1-8 "1)If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2)And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3) If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned but have not love, I gain nothing.4)Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5)or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6)it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 7) Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8)Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 9)For we know in part and we prophesy in part,
is an example of love and that without love we have nothing. At times I will admit that I do not understand love but yet I know that God loves me, that my parents love me and that there are certain people (friends) that I know love me, but the question is do I love them the way God loves them. Am I motivated by love because of who Christ is in me and the love He has bestowed to me. I want my life to be motivated by love and nothing else and that love be a God love and the same kind of love that was and is shown to be daily.
