Loving Well…
Yet again, I’ve found a very thought-provoking post on Donald Miller’s blog. Have a look at it, then read 1 Corinthians 13:1-3…
“If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.”
Have you known (without naming names or specifics here) people who professed the name of Christ, yet were not loving people? Have you been one of those people from time to time (oh, yes, I have)? How is it that we who are followers of Christ can carry his name into the world, and yet seem to be so unlike him?
Love well today, friends…
