Where is the Love?

WHERE IS THE LOVE?

I saw today a brother in great sorrow

and noticed yet another who was absent -

supposed spiritual wisdom

and prophetic knowledge too -

overrode a call

for God's love and compassion.

Where is the love?

Where is the love?

How can we say we are Christians,

if we do not show His love?

Instead we say "Brother, it's me before you.

My anointing before your need.

My opinion is truly a God-given gift

so I'm justified, don't you see,

to treat you with cold aloofness,

callousness - until you gladly receive

the word from the Lord I've given you.

Will you hear what God's saying through me?"

And as the brother in Christ listens carefully,

he hears . . .

"clang . . .

clang, clang . . .

clang, clanging" . . .

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 1 Corinthians 13:1-2

To sum up, let all be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit; not returning evil for evil, or insult for insult, but giving a blessing instead; for you were called for the very purpose that you might inherit a blessing. 1 Peter 3:8,9

Matthew 24

12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.

1John 4:9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

1John 4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

1John 4:11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

I Corinthians 13:13

And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. :il:
