One Verse Devotional

"As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him" -Psalm 103:13

"Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise!" Proverbs 6:6

The three greatest forces in the entire universe are Faith, Hope, and Love.

True love isn't afraid to get its hands dirty. True love puts its boots on and goes to work. True love fight for others.

True Love, God-Love, does not rejoice when someone else fails or becomes jealous when someone else succeeds. Love rejoices.

Have you ever been in a situation where you are working hard at chasing your dreams only to see someone else reach theirs much quicker? We don't know what it took them to get there. We don't know the sacrifice or work they invested. But from our perspective, it sure looks like it was a lot easier and a lot faster than what we have experienced! Have you been there? I have. In those times, it's easy to get jealous. It's easy to (secretly!) wish that something bad would happen or that they would hit an obstacle like we have been hitting. But that's not how Love works, at least not God-Love. Our One Verse today comes from 1 Corinthians 13:6 and teaches us that Love never rejoices in evil. It doesn't secretly hope that something bad will happen to someone else. God-Love rejoices in Truth. We need to constantly remind ourselves that God's Love is not scarce. Blessings in another person's life does NOT mean less for us. God's Love is abundant. We can, and should, rejoice with others even when we are in the midst of chasing after our own dreams. Go and Love others and rejoice with them today.

True love doesn't hold onto offenses for a later fight.

"It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs." 1 Corinthians 13:5

What is love? This week, we are looking at the definition of true love. 1 Corinthians 13 is more than a wedding passage. It teaches us about the kind of Love that God has for us so we can share this same Love with others.

When we need help, who better than the Maker of heaven and earth! Nothing is too big for God. Reach out to Him in your time of need.

This Proverbs isn't about hunting... "Free yourself, like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter, like a bird from the snare of the fowler." -Proverbs 6:5

Only a movement of Love can stop fear from taking over. If you love God, you must love His children.
