Love

Do you have any vivid memories associated with a certain verse? I will never forget the first time I studied 1 Corinthians 13 in middle school. Our youth pastor encouraged us to read verses 4-7 and replace the word ‘love’ with our name. There is a good chance that you have had someone instruct you to do this at some point in your life. But for me middle school was my first. Can you imagine loving like this? It is my prayer that the Lord will help me to love others and to love my husband like this.  What a beautiful image these verses paint us of what true love is to look like.

Do you have any memories like this? What verses are they associated with?

    First of all, you are just so darn cute in your pictures!! Second, this is such a great way to look at this verse! I actually haven’t ever had anyone say it to me like this, thanks for allowing the Lord to use you! Love it!

      You are far too sweet! As for the photos- credit goes to our photography! Ashley is the best! And isn’t that such a beautiful way to look at the verse? Kind of a punch it the stomach. But that is how we are called to love! Be blessed my friend!

    Yes, I was in middle school too, and my youth leader challenged us in the same exercise with “the Love Chapter” (I Cor. 13).
