LOVE NEVER FAILS

I have been to many different conferences and meetings where the gifts of those in leadership brought miracles, signs, and wonders. I have seen people come out of wheelchairs. I have seen growths fall of people’s skin when prayed for. I have seen those that had difficulty walking healed. I have seen cancer healed instantly.

One would be amazed and overwhelmed by these things. Many believers follow after those that operate in healing and prophetic gifts. I have also personally seen some of those leaders act very disrespectfully, as if they are above others and think they are God’s pets. I have seen them look down on the poor, and ignore those in need.

We are told by Jesus in John 13:35 how to determine if we are truly a disciple of Jesus. It says, “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.”

It isn’t the giftings that make us a great Christian. It is the love we show through our lives. 1 Corinthians 13:13 nails it where it says, “And now abideth faith, hope, charity [love], these three; but the greatest of these is charity [ love]."

Without love we are like a clanging cymbal [1 Cor. 13:1] We could do wonderful work feeding the poor and helping the unfortunate, but without love being our motive it is useless.

Love never fails my friend. Gifts will cease. Prophecies will fail, but love will never fail. Do not admire someone for their gifts. Admire them for the love that flows through their lives to others.
