For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there."
James 3:16
New King James Version
God commands us to love one another. He is love personified and wants us to follow his example and yield fruits of love as his children.
In First Corinthians, we see that love is the greatest thing.
Love is all that matters here on earth, and it is all that will last in eternity.
Have you realised that we are protected when we walk in love?.
Self-centredness and Selfishness, open the door to confusion and every evil work in our lives.
But when we choose to walk in love, to put others first, when we choose to be patient and kind and walk in unity, we are protected by God's Love.
We shut the door to the plans of the enemy in our lives.
Check your love walk today .
Studying 1 Corinthians chapter 13 and you will see if you emulate the characteristics of love.
First Corinthians 13 verse 1-13 says
1 What if I could speak all languages of humans and even of angels? If I did not love others, I would be nothing more than a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
2 What if I could prophesy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge? And what if I had faith
that moved mountains? I would be nothing, unless I loved others.
3 What if I gave away all that I owned
and let myself be burned alive?.I would gain nothing, unless I loved others.
4 Love is patient and kind, never jealous, boastful, proud, or
5 rude. Love isn't selfish or quick tempered. It doesn't keep a record
of wrongs that others do.
6 Love rejoices in the truth, but not in evil.
7 Love is always supportive, loyal, hopeful, and trusting.
8 Love never fails!
Everyone who prophesies will stop,
and unknown languages will no longer be spoken. All that we know
will be forgotten.
9 We don't know everything, and our prophecies are not complete.
10 But what is perfect will someday appear, and what isn't perfect will then disappear.
11 When we were children, we thought and reasoned as children do. But when we grew up, we quit our childish ways.
12 Now all we can see of God is like a cloudy picture in a mirror. Later we will see him face to face. We don't know everything, but then we will,
just as God completely understands us.
13 For now there are faith,
hope, and love. But of these three, the greatest is love.
Contemporary English Version, CEV
Live a life overflowing with God's Love. Follow Christ's Example laid for us in the Scriptures.
Remember, love is not a feeling; it is a choice.
Receive God's love, live in it, walk and abuse in it, and you will find His Supernatural grace and protection in it.
You are protected in God's Love.
