welcome to Today’s Living Word.
The greatest proof of the
presence of the Holy Spirit in an individual or a congregation is the
expression of Holy Spirit directed love. But what does this love look like? Today
we’ll continue to look at love as found in the love chapter of the Bible….1 Cor
13!
We pick it up in verse 7
where love hopes all things. Another way of phrasing this might be, “love
hangs in there during difficult times.” There is no getting around it, hope is
a byproduct of tough times.
Ro 5:3 And not only that,
but we also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulation produces
perseverance; 4 and perseverance,
character; and character, hope.
Going through a rough
time in your relationships with others? Hang in there! It’s what Holy Spirit
directed love does! And hang your hat on the truth of Romans 8:28 and ride out
the storm! Keep loving! For we know and believe that all things work
together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according
to His purpose.
I’m Duane Matz and that’s
