184 - The Greatest of These

1 Corinthians 13:13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. FB MEYER wrote: "God’s nature is not specially characterized by faith, because there is no uncertainty with his perfect knowledge; nor by hope, because there is no future to his eternal existence. But God is love; and to love is to resemble Him." Though returned love is wonderful, often our greatest heartache revolves around those we love the most. Jesus was the perfect example of sacrificial love. When we choose to love even when it’s hard, we resemble Him. A lot of my friends resemble Him right now.  I will play the song, “Love Never Fails” at the end of this episode. It’s a homespun version recorded with my friend Gia on a little microphone that works with my phone. I hope as you listen to 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 read and then sung, you might be encouraged in your strengths and find God’s help where you are weak.  If you would like to support this podcast with a monthly or one-time donation, thank you! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.sherriyoungward.com/support⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ To find out about upcoming gatherings and new projects, please join my email list at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.sherriyoungward.com
