Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up. 1 Corinthians 8:1b
Happy Valentine’s Week! As we lavish gifts and cards on those we love, let’s remember the greatest love–God’s love! He loved us so much that He gave up His own Son Jesus to die for us on the cross. (John 3:16)
I came across the little verse in 1 Corinthians this past week, and it really spoke to my heart. Isn’t it true that knowledge makes us proud? On the contrary, love should make us build others up rather than flaunting ourselves. I had to check myself as I was in a group of other people. Did I build them up or puff myself up?
As we celebrate love, I hope I’m building up my family and friends this week!
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank you for your perfect, everlasting, unfailing love. My love can never compare to yours. Help me to build others up this week through love.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen
