Love Expressed!

Today's Reading: "Love never fails." (1 Corinthians 13:8)

Love is an action that must be expressed, very much like the act of breathing. Unless love is expressed in action we, and the object of our love will dry up, wither away and die!

Perhaps, love is best illustrated in our relationship with God. God's word says that He loves us--that's good! But, if He had stood by and idly watched as we hopelessly died in our sins--then, hearing about His love would mean nothing to us! It would be love making that dull "thug" sound! (1 Corinthians 13:1)

Much to our great joy, God put His love into action, or expression by sending His very own Son, Jesus Christ! God’s love, expressed in, through and by His own Son, became our sin and shame, and received our death sentence. More, praise God, this same expressive action of love brought us into a right relationship with our Abba, Father! Christ’s death meant our life! Now, that’s love in action! And, as the song goes, "...the pieces fit!"

May each and everyone one of you come to know and experience God's agape love expressed in its fullest revelation--Jesus Christ!
