WHAT GOOD AM I?
Today's reading: 1 Corinthians 13-14

"If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I knew all the mysteries of the future and knew everything about everything, but didn't love others, what good would I be?" 1 Corinthians 13:2 NLT

I can say I'd let my enemy know a tornado was coming their way. I'd probably buy Girl Scout cookies from my unlovely neighbor's child. I attend to the needs, and rants, of every customer that comes to the customer service counter I am employed to man.

But love? I don't really know that I would ever admit, or be able to admit, that I love them. Sure, I'm concerned about their soul being destined for hell--but love is what will push me to witness, pray for and go above and beyond to keep them from that end. Love is what will urge me to put their needs ahead of my own.

So, what good am I?
