These past couple of weeks I have been bombarded with messages, devotionals, cards, sermons and just about everything else about love. Now, I am not even about to approach the "what is love" question; because lets face it, I don't have a clue. What I do know is that I have a lot to learn about love. 1 Corithians 13... all about love. In fact, most of the bible... about love. Jesus, the very definition of love. There are songs about love, poetry about love, paintings about love, whole books on love, heck in February there is a whole day just dedicated to telling people how much you love them.
What it all boils down to for me is what am I doing to love people better. I am not patient or kind or humble... I fail all the time. It seems the more I hear about love and learn what God says about love the more I realize I know NOTHING about the conversation at hand... These past few weeks my boss has been asking us to demonstrate love in accordance with 1 Cor. 13 and let me tell you it's not easy to be so intentional about love. Please pray for me friends, pray that God shows me how to love better.
And now I will leave you with a few lyrics:
"People killing people dying
Children hurtin you hear them crying
Can you practice what you preach
Would you turn the other cheek?
Father Father Father help us
Send some guidance from above
Cause people got me got me questioning
Where is the love?" ~ Black Eyed Peas
