Word of Hope for Today by Bro. Rolly Custodio
Love Never Fails
‘…He has commanded us to love one another…’ 2 John 1:6 NLT
Today’s Insight
Because the very essence and nature of God is love,
it’s in loving others that we are most like Him. Paul writes, ‘And though I
bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned,
but have not love, it profits me nothing’ (1 Corinthians 13:3 NKJV).
And love cannot be learned or practiced in isolation. You have to be around
people – irritating, imperfect, demanding, frustrating people.
Sometimes we act as if
relationships are something to be squeezed into our schedule. We talk about
finding time, or about making time for others. Jesus summarized what matters
most in two statements: ‘Love God’ and ‘Love people’ (Matthew 22:37-40).
Relationships, not things, are what really matter in life. So why do we keep
allowing our relationships to get shortchanged? Because when our lives become
overloaded we start skimming relationally, cutting back on the time, energy and
attention good relationships require. We become too preoccupied with making a
living, paying bills, and accomplishing goals, as if these were the point of
life. They’re not!
The point of life is learning to love – God and
people. Life minus love equals zero! Mother Teresa said, ‘It’s not what you do,
but how much love you put into it that matters.’ Love is the secret of a great
legacy. In our final moments we all realize that relationships are what life is
all about. Wisdom is learning that truth sooner, rather than later. Don’t wait
until it’s too late to figure that out!
Today’s
Prayer
Heavenly Father thank
you for your powerful Word today. Lord
thank you for teaching me to show my love to others and thank you for planting this
character to me. Lord empowers me to carry the love that we inherit from you
and that we may also bring and show also kindness and mercy to others that true
love never fails which is the agape love which means the unconditional love for
us.
Lord helps us to carry
this unconditional love so that others may be a blessing for your glory, In
Jesus Name. Amen!
