Love Is The Greatest Thing Of All
Many of us have been treated poorly, we were told that we were stupid, we were told that we were worthless, we have been belittled, and we had people be mean to us. Those people made us believe that we were stupid and worthless. They made us believe that it was our fault. Later on, they deny ever treating us like that and they further abuse us.
We may have felt that those who abused us were smarter than us, or they had a better appearance than us. They appear to be greater than we are. I have something to tell you about that.
Those people who abused us lack love. When you chose not to treat others the way you were treated, it took love to make that change. When you had compassion on other people who went through what you did, that took love. God has given each of you a measure of wisdom that He saw fit and what is sufficient for you. God has loved you even when those who abused you didn't. God loved you enough to die on a cross for you. God created you in His image. You are precious. God has created you with the ability to love.
When you have shown love by not treating others the way you were treated, or had compassion on those who have been treated like you have, it shows that you have the greatest thing a person can have and that is love. Love accomplishes greater things than rocket science. Love gives you more beauty than appearance. Love conquers evil. Your love and compassion shows what kind of person you are. People like you who have love and compassion toward others shows you to be greater than the ones who mistreated you because you have something that they don't, you have love.
God will use people like you to accomplish great things and those things get accomplished through love, kindness and compassion.
Your love and kindness toward others is what makes you beautiful people. Never forget that.
see 1 Corinthians 13
I am praying for every one of you.
