Real Love

Tonight I will be sharing on 1 Corinthian 13 which is called the Love Chapter.  What I find so fascinating is in Vs 1-3, that Paul indicates that we could actually live an entire life time, producing, receiving and being of no value.  Paul reminds us in these verses that love is the key and foundation for life.  It protects us from legalism, loveless relationships, selfishness and self absorbing behavior.  I cannot fathom how a person can live a lifetime and make no significant contribution of others but unfortunately I have done many funerals where that has been the case.  Imagine you live 50-100 years and not change lives for eternity.  To many lives are focused on self and not others.  Mark Buntain said once that our lives are called to be lives of influence and this is progress fully in the love of God.  So today my exhortation is love the way God wants you to love and then you will produce, receive and be of real value.
