There are many things I strive to change in my character and in my relationship with God and others…. But there is ONE thing that I strive for daily and that is to Love God with EVERYTHING in me and Love others as myself. He said in Mark 12:28-33, that this is the first commandment and the second is like it!
Also, as you read in Matthew Chapter 24, which gives us a clear account of the last days but in verse 12 He said, that the love for others will wax cold in the last days.
THIS my friend, in this dispensation, RIGHT NOW, TODAY, in this year of 2024, in case you weren’t aware or have forgotten, ARE the last days.
When He comes, we don’t know, BUT what I DO know is my LOVE WILL stay lit and on fire for God AND for others.
I love the way that Rick Renner deciphers I Corinthians 13. My prayer is that you will allow the Holy Spirit to help you become Love in these last days. I hope you will allow this to be your daily reading and prayer:
Love patiently and passionately bears with others for as long as patience is needed;
Love doesn't demand others to be like itself; rather, it is so focused on the needs of others that it bends over backwards to become what others need it to be;
Love is not ambitious, self-centered, or so consumed with itself that it never thinks of the needs or desires that others possess;
Love doesn't go around talking about itself all the time, constantly exaggerating and embellishing the facts to make it look more important in the sight of others;
Love does not behave in a prideful, arrogant, haughty, superior, snooty, snobbish, or clannish manner;
Love is not rude and discourteous — it is not careless or thoughtless, nor does it carry on in a fashion that would be considered insensitive to others;
Love does not manipulate situations or scheme and devise methods that will twist situations to its own advantage;
Love does not deliberately engage in actions or speak words that are so sharp, they cause an
Love does not deliberately keep records of wrongs or past mistakes;
Love does not feel overjoyed when it sees an injustice done to someone else but is elated, thrilled, ecstatic, and overjoyed with the truth;
Love protects, shields, guards, covers, conceals, and safeguards people from exposure;
Love strains forward with all its might to believe the very best in every situation;
Love always expects and anticipates the best in others and the best for others:
Love never quits, never surrenders, and never gives up;
Love never disappoints, never fails, and never lets anyone down."
