Love Never Fails

"Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; love does ot behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquty, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love Never Fails."

1 Corinthians 13:4-8a

The greatest love that the world has ever known is Jesus and yet, people turn their backs on Him. God knew this would happen. He knew that when He gave His only Son, that the world would reject Him. It saddens my heart to see people who are hurting, people who are in desperate need of love and yet have no idea of the greatest love that they can and will ever know. The Bible commands us to go and share with our fellow man.... Acts 1:8 says we are to be witnesses to Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the ends of the earth. How will people ever know if no one will go to them. It kills me to think that there are millions of people who have NEVER heard the name of Jesus, and yet here we are in glorious America hearing the name of Christ everyday. Now, don't get me wrong. I know that there are people here in America that probably have never heard of Him, but think about the greater chance they have to hear than people groups who appear to be unreachable. Many countries do not even allow Christianity to be preached. I have peace in the fact that one day, every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord, but it does break my heart that many will not be ready.


'God I pray that, in Your mighty name, people groups all over this world will come to know You as Savior. I pray that You would move in and through people as You call many to be Your hands and feet as you have commanded us to go and make disciples. May You be glorified in everything and may You be exalted high above the heavens. No one else is worthy enough to accept our worship and our praise. Be lifted up and magnified, most gracious Heavenly Father. In Your Son's most precious and holy name, the Name about all names, Amen."
