Today’s Scripture
“It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God's love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong]. It does not rejoice at injustice and unrighteousness, but rejoices when right and truth prevail. Love bears up under anything and everything that comes, is ever ready to believe the best of every person, its hopes are fadeless under all circumstances, and it endures everything [without weakening]. Love never fails [never fades out or becomes obsolete or comes to an end]. As for prophecy ( the gift of interpreting the divine will and purpose), it will be fulfilled and pass away; as for tongues, they will be destroyed and cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away [it will lose its value and be superseded by truth].”
1 Corinthians 13:5-8

Today’s Thought
One characteristic of the God kind of love is it never takes account of a suffered wrong. So never allow your ideas about the Word of God to override what has been written in the Word of God.

Today’s Confession
Lord, I will not allow my ideas about the Word of God override what is written in the Word of God. The God kind of love rejoices when right and truth prevail, it bears up under anything. I will keep the God kind of love forefront in my mind and heart.
