it's interesting how sometimes we all chase after notoriety and accolades, how we live for someone to recognize us or the deeds that we are doing, and yet Paul said, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, that no matter what we do, even if we give everything and do great things, if we do not have love, we are nothing (my own interpretation). I suppose this is why love becomes very painful at times, because even if we love and no one returns our love, we still have to love.... In that spirit, we who are in Christ, again have to make a choice, shall I be like them or shall I continue loving?
There is faith, hope and charity (love)...a lot of times, we strive to get greater faith or keep hoping the best of everything, I am not saying it is bad...it is wonderful and we should, but the apostle said, the greatest of all these is LOVE. I don't know about you, but this is the way, this sentence looks to me, I can have the faith to move mountains and people will probably say, wow! and I can keep on hoping that God will bless me so I can stand up and say, hey, look at me, it's my time now..but, if I do not know or have love in me then, I got zero! right? well, I would like to ask the Holy Spirit of God, to please help me to show more of the 3 but especially the Love component. I desperately need it, someone else needs it too. I know there is a blessing Jesus himself spoke of, in Matthew 5, it says "BLESSED ARE THE MERCIFUL (LOVE) FOR THEY SHALL BE GIVEN MERCY." I pray this will be the guiding light that lights our path for the coming year.
