If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but I do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I can remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 1 Cor. 13: 1-2 NET
Love would never fail anyone who has made the conscious choice to love. 1 Cor 13: 8, whether there be prophecies they will fail. If you chose to love a person, that over will never fail you. If you love someone you won’t quarrel with them, you would tolerate them, you won’t try to destroy. You say you love your parents yet you have abandoned them somewhere and have refused to honour them.
Love is great and is perhaps the greatest emotion you can ever have. 1 Cor 13: 13. If you are married today, go back home and love your spouse. If you have chosen to marry a person love them. Love does not destroy and always thinks of how to offer oneself for the benefit of many. In love, we are always on the lookout for how best to meet the needs of the people around us and making the life they live better. In a nation, leadership is based on love. This leadership starts in the home and moves all the way to nationhood. If a leader, at home or in the nation, doesn’t love then his leadership is a sham.
Love is prepared to die for the object of love. Greatness comes from great love. The reason why we follow Jesus is because He loves us and He died on the cross for us. All who claim to love must be willing to die for the person they love. Nelson Mandela became one of the greatest people on earth because he was ready to die for South Africa.
Is your love a choice you have made? Is your love prepared to die for someone or a people? If you truly love you can never die because God will raise you up again, just as He did with His only begotten son Jesus Christ. Today you need to reflect on your life how selfish and how arrogant you have been. Have you loved your husband/wife, children, neighbour, parent-in-law, colleagues, boss, nation? Check yourself and make amends, chose today to truly love.
