CHARITY

CHARITY
IN THE BEGINNING...THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, JANUARY 12, 2012

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth, beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.  Charity never faileth..." (I Corinthians 13:4-8).

It is so difficult to find something that never fails, but here we have it--charity.  Charity is that quality of love that is all giving.  God promises that if we operate in the spirit of charity we shall never fail.  Why?  Because charity is eternal; it is what God is.  I John 4:8 declares:  He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

Today, let us determine that we will forever walk in charity.
