Love

~ Cindy Lou

Today’s devotion from YouVersion was on love from 1 Corinthians 13:13. My favorite part of being a Christian is the loving. Loving as a verb. Doing love is so much harder than feeling love. We all go through ups and downs in a relationship where we do not feel love, but because we continue to do love, the feelings come back.

It was the love that called me to be a Christian, so I believe it is so important to try to show love and do love.

I know so many Christians forget to do the love part, so as they do hate and wear their Christian shirts I cringe. I even had a well meaning person in a Bible study class state that Christians use the love card too much. This was after I told him we should just keep loving a group of people. How can we use the love card too much? I know there is truth and love, but they are not cards to deal out.

I believe Jesus wants us to love so that we can show the truth. This is not easy, I mess it up daily. I get frustrated and snap or rush through and not stop and look for places to do love.

So I keep my faith and ask for forgiveness and then I go out and love. For Love is the greatest. Love >

I am a mess, but I love Christ. As a married woman with no children I blunder through my life. I love teaching Algebra 1 to freshman in high school. I have no formal learning in theology. But I do love to pray and read. So I will share my thoughts but that is all they will be, thoughts. My blog will be a mishmash of thoughts.

One thought on “Love”

  1. I enjoyed reading this early this morning with the sun streaming in the window at the lake where your grandparents showed so much love to their children and especially their grandchildren. May love always flourish here!
