1 Corinthians 10:1-13
I love coffee first thing every morning! I love to exercise! I love chocolate! I love sunny days! I love chilling on the beach! I love teaching! I love shoes and clothes! Yes of course I love my family very much! However, my point is, do I use this word too freely?
After reading the above scripture I realized maybe I should rethink how I use the word LOVE. I could say "having coffee first thing in the morning is my favorite part of the day." Or “exercise really gets me going! Sunny days make me feel so energetic!” You get my point. All of these things are on this Earth for us to enjoy for sure, but they are not to take the place of our God.
For if they do, they become idols. For sure we are and will be tempted in our days, but not beyond what we can handle promises our Lord. We are called to love God with all of our heart, soul, strength and mind and love our neighbors as ourselves. That is how we should use the word LOVE. It is a special word with deep meaning and it covers page after page in our Bibles. I pray this Easter season that love will have a new meaning in each of our lives.
