He Is The Truth

This thirteenth chapter is considered by many to be the supreme treaties on love, and indeed as we read through this passage that is beloved by many, we discover that only the name 'JESUS' could easily be substituted throughout for the word 'LOVE'. And justifiably so. Jesus is patient, Jesus is kind. Jesus does not envy, and Jesus is not boastful nor conceited. Jesus is not rude nor does He insist in His own way. Jesus is neither irritable nor resentful, and Jesus does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but He rejoices with the truth, He is the Truth. Only in and through Jesus are we able to bear all things, believe all things, hope all things, and endure all things.
When we consider this passage, take a deeper look in the significance of its true meaning, and pray that Christ may be formed in us so that we are enabled to love as He loves.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, develop in us the godly fruit of love. May we live in love and seek to love as Christ loved. Keep us from envy of others and boastfulness. Lord give us all patience and lead us to be kind to all. May the love of Jesus be seen in and through us, by the power of Your Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN.
