Devotionals - Five minutes at the pump

Fuel-stop devotionals.

Written to be read in the time it takes to fill two tanks. A new one every day, drawn from a year's worth of readings — scripture, a thought to chew on, and a prayer.

Love Is Patient1 Corinthians 13:4
No. 110
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.1 Corinthians 13:4

This isn't a wedding poem — it was written to a church tearing itself apart. Paul describes love not as a feeling but as a behavior. Patient, kind, not envious, not proud. Run your relationships through this filter. Not your feelings — your actions.

Reflect

Pick one person in your life. Run your recent behavior toward them through 1 Corinthians 13. What do you notice?

Prayer

God, make Your love more than a feeling in me. Make it a daily choice. Help me love the way You describe. Amen.
