my adventures in ministry along Aurora Avenue North.

Love Project, Day 4

This weekend was tough – love is easier desired than understood.  Keith gave a great message this morning about love that really spoke to me.  He was talking on 1 Corinthians 13, you know – the whole chapter about love.

He read ‘love bears all things’ and asked us to replace the word love with Christ.  Christ bears all things.  And it is deeper, stronger than simply ‘putting up with’ all things.  It is a forgiveness type of thing he’s talking about here.

He used an example of how we are so often walking that fine line between obedience and sin, always teeter-tottering back and forth.  I found myself there, one foot on each side, wanting so deeply (like everyone) to love but just looking for it in silly places.  Yet, Christ bears all things. Even bears with me.  That is a heart of grace that keeps me seeking Him.

  1. I’m there, too. Still seeking Him. Remember He is always working in our lives even when we don’t see Him. Isaiah 49:13-16. Without Him, we are nothing. Keep on searching.
