1 Corinthians 13:13 NASB "But now faith, hope, and love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love."I had all the parts but was missing one thing! Today's verse is about love the greatest of these! I had made a plan, bought the parts I needed and began to put things together, the only problem arose when I lost heart in doing the job. The customer didn't see it but deep in my heart I wasn't "into to it"! Somewhere along the way I lost my love of doing that kind of work. I wasn't sure why but I could feel that something was missing. I did the job but not with the same enthusiasm as I had in years past. I was more like a machine than a person, just going through the motions. Maybe we've found ourselves in that situation, just going through the motions with our job, our marriages, our interaction with people and possibly even our church. It's time, like I did, to step back and find what's missing. For me it was the fact that I wasn't doing it to honor God. When that thought occurred, I began to find that my love of things came back, I was doing them for the right reason! We need to ask ourselves, who are we doing if for?! peace, tom
