1 Corinthians 13:13 - "And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love."
Every dish has a unique flavor that defines its essence, its identity. In the vast menu of life, love is that standout flavor. Just as a delectable dish would seem incomplete without its star ingredient, so is our life, irrespective of faith and hope, missing its essence until love is at its center.
Just as chefs curate ingredients meticulously, we should ensure that love is the pivotal point around which our lives revolve.
Faith and hope lay the foundation, but love, as Paul reminds us, stands tall among them, crowning our existence with its glorious presence.
Reflection Questions
1. How have you prioritized love in your life's decisions and actions today?
2. Can you identify an area of your life that needs more of this main ingredient?
Morning Prayer
Lord, as I begin this day, may my heart overflow with love, not just for those around me but also for the world You have created. Let love guide my actions, my decisions, and my thoughts. Amen.
