Today’s Readings: 1 Corinthians 12 & 13
Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers, and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed.
We have had some fantastic posts on spiritual gifts & love. Through the years, I have been very blessed to read the words and thoughts other bible journal writers have shared in their insights on these God-breathed chapters. Here are a few that you can go back to and read again for some additional blessings today. Comparison and Gifts & Discerning Faith.
As I reflected on this topic, I want to share the reminder we are all gifted. We can have absolute joy, without hesitation, knowing our God, who has blessed us in infinite ways, provides spiritual gifts to us every day. Share that gift of You today!
How should I do this? Glad you asked:)
1 Corinthians 13 The Way of Love
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
I’m reminded, refreshed, and reassured that every choice throughout my day will flow in love? Can I step aside from my selfish desires, pick up my eyes from what the earthly world wants me to focus on, and love the person in front of me. Love is the most important thing that we have. When what we think, say, and do comes out of love. Our spiritual gifts will shine.

Dear Father,
You are love, and you have placed this in our hearts. In the moments where I fear, worry, or hesitate to share your love, give me strength. We need to never question or wonder if our gift will make a difference because you desire us to simply share love with others. Help us do that today with ourselves, family, friends, and strangers. You have blessed us with this day. Amen
