Today, Friday, March 18, is the ninth day in the Lenten season. Lent is the period of time during which we can prepare ourselves for the Easter experience.
 

Assignment 9
 
We speak a great deal of love, we think a great deal about love, but do we know love? Love is God in action! Love is selfless. Love thinks only of the beloved. Love is blind to all faults, all shortcomings, for love sees God, which is good.
 
Love is the great unifying, harmonizing, drawing power in the universe. Love draws loved ones, friends, experiences, money and happiness and holds the soul and body together. Love in the secret of all healing! If you want more of anything in life . . . Love More!
 
Let’s take a test to see how much we really love. This test is in I Corinthians 12 (Moffat). You may grade yourself. How many are true of you?
 
“Love is very patient, very kind. Love knows no jealousy. Love makes no parade, gives itself no airs. Is never rude, never selfish, never irritated, never resentful. Love is never glad when others go wrong. Love is gladdened by goodness, always slow to expose, always eager to believe the best. Love is always hopeful. Love never disappears!”
 
How did you come out? Remember the words of Paul, “I may speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but if I have no love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal; I may prophesy, fathom all mysteries and secret ore, I may have such absolute faith that I can move hills from their places, but if I have no love, I count for nothing. I may distribute all I possess to the poor, I may give up my body to be burned, but if I have no love, I make nothing of it. I will show you a more excellent way. Make love your aim, then set your heart on spiritual gifts.”
 
Jesus said, “Love one another.” He did not say that you need “like” them; but it is imperative you’re your sake that you love them. To love is to sustain them as they are where they are! Do all in your power to give them freedom to be. This is Love!
