The One: Adventنموونە

Agape love is not primarily a feeling that happens to people. Love is an action. It is a choice people make to seek the well-being of others. The apostle Paul, in one of his letters, says love is more important then having spiritual knowledge or special abilities and that nothing really matters without it. He goes on to describe exactly how love thinks and behaves.

Read:

1 Corinthians 13:1-7

Reflect:

Write out 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 on a piece of paper. As you write the passage in your own handwriting, what words or phrases especially stand out to you?

Which aspects of love do you need to grow in most? Tell God and ask for his help.

Using Paul’s definition of love, consider how Jesus has loved you. For example, how has Jesus been patient, kind, humble, and selfless to you?

Who needs a reminder that God loves them today? How does Jesus want to share his love through you this week? Take some time to pray about it. Jot down any ideas that come to mind while you pray and make a plan to actively share his love this week.
