Think, Do and Live - all with Love

1 Corinthians 13

The Greatest Gift

1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned,[a] but have not love, it profits me nothing.4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. 13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.[NKJV 1 Cor 13]


I was kind of doing reflection. Certain things or rather, many things that were in the past. What was done. I might had 'done alot of things'. I might be 'obedient' in a lot of ways. I might have tried to live a good life. I spoke like one who preach. I teaches others to live a godly way. Been there done that. But, if I have not apprehend this revelation "...have not love, I'm nothing" then what I have been doing, I took the Lord's name in vain.

As apostle Paul had said. Should I speak the the languages of men and angels, having the gift of prophecy and understand much mysteries and knowledge, giving my all to others yet without love, I'm nothing. I had done all in vain.

Be conscious of not what you can do but what Jesus can do through you.

If I'm consicous of what I can do. I do like what a mere man will do.

If I'm conscious that I am able to teach then I will teach like what a man will teach but if I'm consicous of how Jesus had taught me, I will teach just as how Jesus had taught me.

Be conscious of Jesus. Be conscious of His love. Be conscious of what He has been doing. Be conscious of what Jesus had done then I will be conscious of love and love will I live out for others.

"...but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, 14 I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." [NKJV Philippians 3 : 13b -14]
