Walk With a Heart of Love

1 Corinthians 13:1-3

1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

Remember when I wrote about how we are to walk in love? I discussed things that Christ did that are examples of walking in love; however, I now see that we could do those things, but if our heart isn't right, they would mean nothing. We can do all the "right" things, but if our heart isn't doing them out of love, then they mean nothing.

I don't want to be like an empty vessel. I don't want to be all talk and not walk.

Lord, Help me have a heart of love. May I live with love towards You and others. May my actions be backed by love for others and not love for myself. Help me go against the way the world says and live how You call me to live. It will take true love to withstand the opposition of the world and I pray that Your love would be in me.
