“And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” -1 Corinthians 13:13, NIV

Spiritual maturity isn’t measured by how long you’ve been a Christian, how much you know, or how often you go to church. Spiritual maturity is measured by the way you treat other people. It’s measured by the love you allow to operate in and through you.

1 Corinthians 13 gives us a picture of what love looks like. When we are walking in love, we treat other people with courtesy and respect. In other words, are you kind to the person at the checkout counter that may be moving too slowly? Are you gentle when you are driving down the highway and someone cuts you off? Are you patient with your family and coworkers?

These are all characteristics of love. The Bible tells us that love is patient. It is kind. It does not envy; it is not proud. It is not rude. Love is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrong. Love never fails.

Notice that these characteristics don’t have anything to do with feelings. Love is a choice. You can choose to walk in love toward people even when you don’t feel like it!

Today, look for ways to cultivate the greatest thing in your life — love! Let love grow in you because it is the sign of spiritual maturity and opens the door for God to operate in and through you.

Anonymous asked: who was worst relationship and why?

I don’t want to label any as my “worst” because it’s not like any of them were awful. I’ve only had 2 serious boyfriends. Ryan and maverick. Ryan pretty much has consumed my entire high school career and our relationship was definition of perfection so it was hard to do anything less.i feel like because of that, I expected to much out of me and mavericks relationship and when I didn’t get that I was upset. He didn’t treat me perfectly, I had to beg for attention at times but we also had times together when I was really happy. I’m not going to trash either of them on here because I still care about both of them a lot But to answer your question me and Ryan had a better relationship that me and Mav

I miss ry ry

He was the best. Listening to a song today that said never throw away your love letters and it brought me back to the ones he wrote me. It’s sad to know how happy we could be. Love him. Forever and always
