Observation: We throw the word 'love' around a lot these days. Love is an overused and under rated word that has been redefined until it can mean anything from what's godly to what's ungodly, from the tie that binds to the tie that bend. You can twist it into whatever shape you want it. There are great goals in life but one of the greatest that should be "your aim, your quest" (1 Corinthians 14:1) is to live a life led by and filled with God's love. Human love is changeable and unpredictable. However, God's love, which is the kind of love I should walk in, is entirely different. It doesn't act one way today and another tomorrow. It doesn't let circumstance or emotions alter it. It is sure and consistent. 1 Cor 13:4-8 tells us precisely what it's characteristics are.
Application: Love is the foundation of my life in Christ. Love is the key to God's wisdom, power and protection. When I apply LOVE to everything I do, not only do I reap the benefits already mentioned, but I do not fail! When love is at the core of everything I do success rises to meet me- that's how God created it!
Prayer: God I am eternally grateful Your love never fails. Your love is faithful and true. It has the potential to sound fluffy, but It's unlike the love humanity lives in. It is strong and never faltering. Thank you for revealing Your love to me- help me be someone who uncovers it for the rest of the world.
