1 Corinthians 13
1 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Nate and I read this passage the other night and it has been on my heart. What a great reminder - whatever we find ourselves doing (moving dirt, registering patients in the clinic, laundry...) if we aren't constantly loving, it's worthless. Another good reminder, that even when we find ourselves doing something that doesn't seem inherently important, if it's rooted in love, the Lord is pleased.
Our prayer is that our lives are constantly exuding the love of Christ.
