LOVE IS........

The impulse to do what we (or the crowd surrounding us) think is best is a flaw that corrupts even the best intentions.  JESUS pointed out that one's actions speak so loudly that their words could not be heard.  In Mark 7:8-9 (KJV) HE opined "For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.  ."

The S&P (Scribes and Pharisees) could not see the forest for the trees!  They were so intent on keeping the letter of the law they missed the purpose for what the law was given.  

The thirteen verses of 1 Corinthians 13 makes it abundantly clear TRUE LOVE is enough.  "And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition" states with no ambiguity that following rules and statutes are not what GOD is looking for.  GOD desires for hearts to be changed.  

I pray that my life demonstrates a willingness to show the LOVE of CHRIST in everything I do!
