Love never fails.
The Action of Love
Perhaps one of the Scripture passages most frequently read at Christian weddings is 1 Corinthians 13:4–8. It’s often picked by the couple because it speaks to the nature of love. It tells us that love is an action word, a verb. Love doesn’t keep score. It does nothing evil. Love rejoices when it encounters truth. The action of love includes protecting, trusting, hoping, and persevering.
The Most Excellent Way
God has given you the ability to love because it is, as 1 Corinthians 12:31 says, “the most excellent way.” When you show love, you are patient and kind. Love cannot be limited by an emotion because love will act outside that emotion. And that is the bottom line: love acts. Can you see how love is the greatest of action words?

Pray this week:
Dear Heavenly Father,
Help me to be a loving Christian to those who are hurting or need someone to show them tender care.
Thank you for loving me and drawing me closer to You when I read Your Word. Amen
It’s easy to love those who love you. Tomorrow, practice showing love to someone who is challenging you to love.
