Let Love and Faithfulness never leave you
In the book of Proverbs we read,
"Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.
Then you will win favour and a good name
in the sight of God and man."
Proverbs 3:3,4
If we truly show the love of God to those around us people will notice and as the writer of proverbs states, “...You will win favour and a good name in the sight of God and man”.
The apostle Paul in his letter to the Corinthians tells us what true love is when he writes,
“Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails....
And now these three remain:
faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love.”
1 Corinthians 13:4-8a,13.
Is this the kind of love you show to those around you?
Please think about it.
