It’s been a long day; ten hours of driving for a motorcycle and two hours with our granddaughter. So tonight’s reflections will be short and sweet. I was thinking the other day about 1 Corinthians 13—the Love Chapter of the Bible. We often say that love is known not by what people say, but by what they do, but this is only partly true. Love is proven not by what it does, but by how it responds to insult and injury. It is possible to do much good with a wicked, hateful heart, but it is impossible to endure deliberate insult and injury, returning goodness and blessing for hatred and hurt, apart from love.
We measure love by our response to evil and hatred, not by what we do when all is well.
