Love that never runs dry

Let’s pause for a while on the series about Bible.

Month of February is known as love month (that makes many people love less afterward). How could we maintain the essence of love possibly at all times and season?

Two months ago we also sang: “Kahit hindi pasko ay magmahalan” was a call to love always. The Holy Bible has many things to say about love. It appears 310 times in KJV which mean that it is very important being repeated that means a lot.

In 1Corinthians 13 (NIV) nourishes the idea about love. Let’s explore a little.

The first part of this chapter is introduced as the most excellent way – superlative. “If I speak in the tongues (language) of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.”

You will not enjoy hearing again and again the same sound of cymbal eight hours day after day. It’s either you will curse the sound or the one producing the sound. Love is extremely important.

You might be a well known linguist in this world and speaks even the language of heaven, yet your effort is without love, then it’s nothing. You cannot make an exhibition of your knowledge or end up being proud.

The next verse says, “If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.” See that? Even the most religious servant and prophet of the Lord that had not exercised love, is nothing at all.

Third verse says: “If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.” What a self denial and martyrdom isn’t it? Yet without love it’s nothing! What else can you say about the need of love.

Therefore the notion about “put love in everything you do” is really truthful. Yes, the rarest commodity in this world is love, if you can buy love in can in grocery stores, then it will always be out of stock. Everyone needs it.

Let’s accept, all of us desperately need for love. Let’s ask God above – the source of love. He Himself is Love.
