Daily Devotion: Charity Never Faileth - 1 Corinthians 13:8

1 Corinthians 13:8 – Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

One of the lasting, enduring promises of Scripture is the strength of godly love. Passion fades and comradery diminishes, but the love shown by God and given to His people will never fail.

Is someone in your life in need? Love them as Christ would love them. Show them compassion and truth. Help them see hope and strengthen their faith. Demonstrate the patience needed to endure through difficulties. Tell them the story of Jesus from your perspective. Your witness of love will not be wasted.

If you know nothing else to do, you can love someone. Our intellect may decrease, our understanding may be wrong, and our knowledge may grow old, but when all else around us may falter, love is always in style. Love is always helpful and covers many sins. A legacy of love endures forever.

It's always nice and sweet when Devotions make us feel good about ourselves. But sometimes the Word of God causes me to become uncomfortable. Today's verses bring me to that place. It would be so very easy for me to look at the contrast between what was happening to Jesus and what was happening with Peter. It would be very comfortable for me to sit here this morning and condemn Peter for standing outside by the fire while Jesus was inside being mocked, spat upon, and struck by the servants of the high priest. It would be easy for me to sit here and say, "...
