THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
LOVE SHOULD BE THE FOUNDATION FOR EVERYTHING WE DO IN LIFE
It’s often too easy to become engrossed in the checklists of life, perhaps even a SPIRITUAL one, believing that certain actions are REQUIRED to please God. While the desire to please Him and obey His commands is IMPORTANT, it truly BEGINS with the condition of our HEARTS.
According to 1 Corinthians, only faith, hope, and LOVE will endure into eternity. This means we must shift our FOCUS to ensure that our spiritual journey isn’t just a series of MOTIONS. Many “GOOD” deeds may be done, but without LOVE, they hold no eternal VALUE. Knowledge ALONE is INSUFFICIENT; WITHOUT love, it benefits us not at ALL. When love underpins all that we DO, the narrative CHANGES. Love HONORS God and paves the way for the victorious and blessed life He has PLANNED.
Today’s Scripture:
“…The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.”
Galatians 5:6, NIV
