God wants us to recognize our responsibility to operate in all the gifts of the Spirit and also expects us to validate those gifts by living a lifestyle that glorifies Him, and that means loving our brother even when our brother is unlovable.
God gives us gifts so that we can express His love to one another. 1 Corinthians 13:1-3 stresses that the gifts are nothing without love. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 describes what love is and is not. The entire 13th chapter of Corinthians is to demonstrate how we are to serve one another in love.
Rejoice today in a love so deep and sure that death could not extinguish it. God’s love stretches from time eternal and reaches out to you with grace and mercy. That same love has been shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. Determine to reach out to someone today with the love of Jesus.
Holy Spirit, thank You for equipping me today with God’s love and His gifts to serve in His body.
