Bible Verse of The Day – 1-18-19

1 Corinthians 14:1 (NKJV) 1 Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

How do we pursue love? Just like anything we want in life, we go after the One who holds the goods.

In this case it’s Jesus. He is our example of the greatest love ever to exist.

When we put our faith in Him as our Lord and Savior, and we open up our hearts to Him, that seed of His love gets planted in our hearts. And just like any other seed, if we don’t care for it and water it, it won’t grow.

This kind of love only grows with proper watering through the word of God. His truth, His discipline, and His teachings will cause this seed to flourish and produce beautiful fruit.

As we learn who He is and how He responded to certain situations, we take what we have learned and then follow in His foot steps. As we do this, we begin to build that same love in us.

We learn how to act out of righteousness, instead of reacting out of our own understanding and our flesh.

How does this love get stronger? We take what He teaches us and we put it into action.

How does it become part of our everyday walk? We live it, we breathe it and walk it out. Not from our heads, but straight from our hearts.

Walking in this Love will grip the hearts of people around us. It is the difference that people will notice in us, showing that we have changed and we belong to God.

John 13:35 (NKJV) 35 By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
