Love

QT:
1 Corinthians 11 - 1 Corinthians 13

[1 Corinthians 11: 19 - 21]
19No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God's approval. 20When you come together, it is not the Lord's Supper you eat, 21for as you eat, each of you goes ahead without waiting for anybody else. One remains hungry, another gets drunk.

[1 Corinthians 11: 33 - 34]
33So then, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for each other. 34If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you meet together it may not result in judgment.
And when I come I will give further directions.

[1 Corinthians 13: 4-7]
4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

God spoke to me about waiting for people. Not the literal definition of waiting for people to buy their food but reference of not leaving anyone behind. We are all in this race together and we leave NO ONE behind. Care for one another despite the differences. Secondly , Love. It is the crux of everything. Without it , we are nothing. For it was also mentioned Love is God , God Is Love. This is the attitude that we should yearn and desire to attain and strive towards developing such strong character so we can be more equipped with the love of God to do his will and to glorify his kingdom.
