8-10Love never dies. Inspired speech will be over some day; praying in tongues will end; understanding will reach its limit. We know only a portion of the truth, and what we say about God is always incomplete. But when the Complete arrives, our incompletes will be canceled.
11When I was an infant at my mother's breast, I gurgled and cooed like any infant. When I grew up, I left those infant ways for good.
12We don't yet see things clearly. We're squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won't be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We'll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us!
13But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love.
God's words here is awesome! He reveals here that Love will surpass all things. When the time comes, after all the preaching and speaking, when all is said and down and the time is complete, Love will still overcome.
Love is such a powerful thing, and God is Love. It is withstanding, and can withstand through all. When Jesus comes, and it has been completed, then Love will still remain. God wants us to love and to continue loving through all things, because it is what should drive us.
Father God, I pray for these words, these brilliant and powerful words of Love. Let your Love be so great in my life. Let the Love of Christ overflow in my life and into those that I encounter. Let the Love of Jesus be so evident, that You may be glorified, and that Your love be reached to all. I pray this be done. I pray that Love be the basis of my reasoning. I give love, show love, and be driven through love. Through Christ Love who strengthens me. In Jesus name.
Amen.
