The Greatest Thing In The World
Now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. —1 Corinthians 13:13
|
Well-known scientist and writer Henry Drummond (1857-1897) conducted a geological survey of South Africa and wrote what was then the definitive work on tropical Africa. But he is best remembered for his book about love, The Greatest Thing In The World.
Drummond wrote, "As memory scans the past, above and beyond all the transitory pleasures of life, there leap forward those supreme hours when you have been enabled to do unnoticed kindnesses to those round about you, things too trifling to speak about . . . . And these seem to be the things which alone of all one's life abide."
Paul warned that impressive gifts and spectacular deeds may be little more than empty noise (1 Corinthians 13:1). Our best efforts—if bereft of love—ring hollow. "Though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, . . . but have not love, it profits me nothing" (v.3). The smallest loving act can hold eternal significance.
No matter our age or status in life, we all can strive to love others as God loves them. We may accomplish great things in our life—gain fame and fortune—but the greatest thing is to love. For of all that we have done, or ever will do, only love endures. We depart, but love abides. —David Roper
We love because He first loved us,
He gave so we can give;
We love because He first touched us,
He died so we can live. —Sper
Now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. —1 Corinthians 13:13

Oh, GeeBee......what a beautiful and uplifting post today! It made me smile. Love stories always touch my heart and there is nothing better than 'true life' love stories to make us realize that "love" is all around us.
