Title: Love Is Giving.

-


"Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up" (1 Corinthians 13:4).

Devotion:

Love is a conscious decision and choice we make, not just a feeling. In a world where love is often distorted by lust and self-interest, it's essential to understand the true nature of love. According to 1 Corinthians 13:4, genuine love is patient, kind, and promotes others without seeking to boast or elevate oneself.

If our actions towards others lack these qualities, we risk being hypocrites. When we show love to the brethren, our motivation should not be to receive something in return but to glorify God and trust in His reward. Ultimately, our love should be selfless, not transactional.

As we reflect on our actions, let's ask ourselves: Do they meet the requirements of love? Do we show love because it's good to love, or are we motivated by ulterior motives? May we strive to love unconditionally, just as Christ loved us.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
