DAILY MANNA FOR TODAY
Around the mid-20th century in Ecuador, Jim Elliot and Elisabeth Howard met while studying at Wheaton College. They fell deeply in love and shared a passion for missionary work. In 1956, Jim, along with four other missionaries, attempted to reach the Huaorani people in the jungles of Ecuador. Tragically, they were killed by the very people they sought to serve. Elisabeth, left widowed with a young daughter, chose to continue their mission. She reached out to the Huaorani, eventually leading to their conversion. Their story embodies the essence and supremacy of selfless and sacrificial love – the kind that seeks no reward, demands no recognition, and persists even when circumstances are dire. They remind us that love is not mere sentimentality; it is a force that can transform lives and change the world.
Paul’s original message to the Corinthians Christians was meant to deflate their oversized ego over their possession of spiritual gifts. He instructs that gifts, not ministered with perfect love, are vain and worthless. Love remains the essential virtue, capable of producing the greatest impact with spiritual gifts. This kind of love is patient, kind and never inflated with its own importance. It does not brag and knows no envy. It does not behave itself unseemly; never insists upon its right and privileges and it is never temperamental.
This love rejoices in the truth, finds no pleasure in evildoing and does not hold on to the memory of any wrong against it. It is all enduring, absolutely trusting, bears everything with triumphant fortitude and, never for once, ceases to hope. Every other gift will dry up and soon be forgotten, but love is convincingly permanent, overwhelmingly complete and incontrovertibly supreme.
A writer once remarked that “faith without love is cold and hope without love is grim. Love is the fire which kindles faith and love is the light which turns hope into certainty.” The humble and sincere seeker, one who daily seeks God, will never cease to pray until his/her soul and spirit are filled with God’s own kind of love.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: God’s kind of love is supreme and triumphs over all circumstances.
