I’m Duane Matz and
welcome to Today’s Living Word.
The Corinthian church had
all these supernatural gifts that indicated the presence of the Holy Spirit in
their midst! And as breathtaking as these gifts may be, if they are displayed
without love, they are NOTHING!
NOTHING! They are like a
firework in the sky on the 4th of July. Ooh and ahh, but after it is
spent, what are you left with?
NOTHING!
So an even more excellent
way to exhibit the fire of the Holy Spirit is through love! So let’s find out
what this love looks like! First of all,
1Co 13:4 Love suffers
long,
Love hangs in there!
Using the fireworks analogy, love is a freeze frame of a firework at the height
of its display. Love stays in your situation no matter what! It is a sustained
ooh and ahh to those on the receiving end and all others who observe it in
action.
Only God can love in such
a sustaining way and so we pray, “Lord, help me to keep loving even in those
times that I want to fizzle out!
I’m Duane Matz and that’s
Today’s Living Word.
