1 Corinthians 13:1-8

Sorry, bad example, have been lazy for the past two days.

This is the all too familiar 1 Corinthians 13 on love. Sometimes when reading such passage, I tend to gross over, since I have already read it many times. Most time I focused on verses 4 to 6, on what love is. However, verse 8 caught my attention today. "Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away." I was reminded once again, that we should focus on things that have eternal value. When compared with love, all the other gifts are temporal. How often do we seek love as a gift from God? We like gift of prophesy and gift of faith, but we often neglect the more important gift of love. Like all gift, we need to practice love.
