1 Corinthians 13:13
"And now abide in faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love."
I have come to realize that 'love' and the many ways that we define what it truly is, can sometimes be vague and somewhat overwhelming. But keep it simple. This chapter teaches us such a great practical way to love humanity and the world we live in. I think that love is in the detail. Love is in the details of everyday life, when we are presented with choices on how to behave, how to speak, and how to believe. Sometimes the choices are simple and some of them are complex, and time is needed for you to be able to walk in love when making them.
Faith, Hope and love should, as the Bible says, be the fundamental aspects to our whole lives. These three qualities, verbs, nouns or whatever you want to call them are what it takes to live a beautiful, godly and passionate life for God and for others. They sum up what our lives should be about.
"...but the greatest of these is love." Love is what ties faith, hope and love all together. Without the heart connection to Jesus, without falling in love with Him and without asking Him to fill you with love for what He loves, life is meaningless and there is no point for faith and hope. Love makes you believe (have faith) when you feel like you have nothing left, and Love keeps you hanging on (have hope) when the world is hopeless and your life is falling apart.
So everyday remember that love is in the details. Without love there is no real true faith or hope. Right now ask Jesus to make His love real to you in ways you can't imagine. And everyday, choose love.
