A More Excellent Way—Love 5

Austin Gardner • July 6, 2022

Everything else will fail but not love

Loving like Christ means that I will not seek my own. Love will seek the best for others and is concerned about what is going on in the other person's life.


Christlike love is not easily provoked; it doesn't get upset, angry, or irritated easily. Often we get most angry and annoyed with those that we claim to love the most.


The more excellent way is not to think evil. We should always assume the best until proven wrong. We choose not to keep score on wrongs done. Love covers while hate stirs. Proverbs 10:12. This love does not allow the evil someone does to affect our thinking and the way we show love.


Christ-like love does not rejoice in iniquity. This love does not get happy about someone else's sin or failures. This love doesn't even rejoice when an enemy falls. Proverbs 24:17-18. Love does not enjoy telling someone off or pointing out their wrongdoing.


Biblical love endures. It bears all things, even the fiercest storm. This love withstands the pressure. Floodwaters can't quench charity love. Song of Solomon 8:7


Love believes all things. It chooses to trust the other person. This love will never lose faith in someone. Love always thinks the best about someone. Love does not ignore reason and discernment, but it sees everything in the best light and does not suspect the person.


Christlike love hopes all things. Love never gives up hope for them. This love endures all things. Love will persevere in the face of unpleasant circumstances. Love will hang on in the face of opposition.


Everything else will fail but not love.


The most valuable thing you can give anyone is the love of Christ. Let God work in us so that we begin loving with the love of Christ.


Love never lets go. If it does, it was never love at all. Love can hurt, but love gives. Love may cost us much, but it has given us more.


Lets us remember that the greatest commandment was to love God with all that is in us, and the second is to love our neighbor. Matthew 22:36-40


How do people know that we are His disciples, by the love we have one for another  John 13:34-35

Gratitude, a sentiment often tucked away in the recesses of our hearts, possesses the transformative power to enrich not only our lives but also the lives of those around us.

In January of 1987 Betty, the kids, and I arrived in Querétaro, Mexico to study Spanish. I literally didn’t know ten words. I am forever indebted to Georgia, Hermana Luisa, Webb for the language institute she ran for many years. She was strict. She pushed hard. Betty cried on more than one occasion. Without the challenge I know that I never would have learned the language. The language school gave me structure, discipline, help learning what to do next. Read the rest of the letter then go watch this video the BBF did of Miss Webb. When you get this letter, Lord willing, Betty and I will be in Mexico and we will be visiting this wonderful godly lady. I thought of this lady often over the years. I remembered how hard she had been on me. I remembered being tortured it seemed but I survived Hermana Luisa and she made me a thriving missionary.  Thank you Hermana Luisa for helping a red neck Tennessee hillbilly learn enough Spanish to do some ministry. God bless you. So know that language school might be very beneficial for you. Efficient Resource Utilization: Organized lesson plans and materials ensure learners make the most of their study time, covering essential language elements in a coherent manner. Clear Learning Objectives: Well-organized courses outline clear learning objectives, helping learners understand what to expect and what is expected of them. Resource Accessibility: Organized language schools provide learners with easy access to a variety of resources, including textbooks, multimedia materials, and language software.
