the most excellent way

it has been a little while! i don't have long now...but wow, God is up to something. and so is Satan. but i am so glad to say that we win!
this morning i was reading Corinthians 13, the famed love chapter, and realized--like, truly realized--how important love is. it is the most excellent way. the very best way to live and learn...to love. the best way to unify the body, and all it's parts, like in chapter 12....to love. the best way to show others Who we belong to and to bring Him glory...to love. the best way to rejoice and to suffer with others in the body...to love. love brings life to all other gifts. and not just any love. agape love. love is patient. love is kind. it does not envy. it does not boast. it is not proud. it is not rude. it is not self-seeking. it does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth. it keeps NO record of wrongs. it ALWAYS protects. it ALWAYS trusts. it ALWAYS hopes. it ALWAYS perseveres. Love never fails. and i want to love that way. i want to live like that, and to learn the very best way to live. the most excellent way.
