STOP AND THINK – You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have really lived are the moments when you have done things in a spirit of love. (Henry Drummond, 19th century Scottish evangelist)
The love Drummond spoke about is probably not the erotic or romantic love that saturates our modern culture. Such love on TV, in the movies, and in written media, brings only temporary, illusive satisfaction at best. But when we act toward others with biblical love, both the loved one and the one showing love find lasting satisfaction and joy.
Love never fails. . . . And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. (1 Corinthians 13:8, 13)
