Love
Binds Them All Together
Getting dressed for the day requires many components
to be an outfit, presentable and functional for the day. But we also need to
consider how we will put on the right outfit that is more than functional but
an outfit of a positive attitude which expresses our faith in God through the
many designs of love.
“Therefore, as
God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness,
humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances
you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all
these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.”
Colossians 3:14 NIV
Compassion, kindness, and humility, are tucked in together
with patience and gentleness and bound together with love. More precious and important
than faith is heavenly love. Without love even the faithful will falter. Many faithful
workers for God, have, after a time, lost their way― because they lost their spirit
of love.
Love is the crowning glory of grace of our Christian
character. It is the finer touches in the many variables of love in which all
the light, love and glory of God is revealed to the world.
“Why is Love greater than faith?
Because the end is greater than the means. And why is it greater than charity?
Because the whole is greater than the part." Henry Drummond
