LOVE THAT WINS, 1 Corinthians 13

1 CORINTHIANS 13 LOVE

GIFTS, ATTRIBUTES AND WORKS WITHOUT LOVE

Speak in tongues of angels

They will be stilled.

BUT WITHOUT LOVE:

I am a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal

Prophesy

They will cease,

for we prophesy in part

but when completeness comes,

what is in part disappears.

Fathom all mysteries

All Knowledge

It will pass away,

for we know in part

but when completeness comes,

what is in part disappears.

Faith that can move mountains

BUT WITHOUT LOVE:

I am nothing

Give all possessions to the poor

Give over body to hardship that I can boast

BUT HAVE NO LOVE:

I gain nothing

　
God forbid that we be void of love, for we will be void also, and gain nothing, and to those we want to win to Christ, without love, we will sound like a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

We cannot have faith without love. Lord our lost loved ones need for us to love them because love covers over a multitude of sins.

1 Corinthians 13 LOVE
Love is:

Patient

Kind

Love does not:

Envy

Boast

Dishonor others

Delight in evil

Love is not:

Proud

Self-seeking

Easily angered

Love:

Keeps no record of wrongs

Rejoices with the truth

Love always:

Protects

Trusts

Hopes

Perseveres

Love never:

Fails

Father God, 1 Corinthians love Is what our lost loved ones need from us.

Stir our hearts with Your gift of love by Your Spirit, for it is the fruit of the Spirit that gives us 1 Corinthians 13 love.

We want to be patient and kind with our lost loved ones. We don’t want to keep a record of all their wrongs, or be easily angered with them, biting, devouring, and consuming them, beating them with Your Word. If at all possible, we want to live in peace with them.

Neither do we intend to be self-seeking, but seek the prosperity of our lost loved ones’ soul.

We want Your love in us for them that always protects, trusts, hopes, and perseveres.

Your love that never fails.

When I was a child:

I talked like a child

Thought like a child

Reasoned like a child

When I became an adult:

I put the ways of childhood behind me

Father God, help our lost loved ones to be strong adults and not act like children. Deliver them from being servants of the world, the flesh, and the devil. We are standing in the gap for them in prayer before You for their the salvation of their soul, fighting not against them, but against the rulers, authorities, powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

For now:

We see only a reflection as in a mirror

Know in part

But then:

We shall see face to face

Know fully,

even as we are fully known

Three remain: faith, hope, and love.

But the greatest of these is love

Father God, though we only see and know in part, we commit ourselves and our lost loved ones to You in full trust with the virtues of Your Spirit:

faith, hope and love,

but the greatest of these is love.

We are praying, LORD, always and unceasingly for the salvation of our lost loved ones' soul.

Thank You, LORD, in Jesus name, amen.

From 1 Corinthians 13
