Morning Meditation: Love - Story

As the sun rises, casting golden rays through my window, I am reminded of the profound truths found in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. Love is not merely a feeling; it is a deliberate, powerful choice that transforms our hearts and lives. Picture a gardener tending to a patch of land. With hands caked in soil, the gardener pours not just water but love into the ground, nurturing each seed with patience and care. This is how love operates—patiently, kindly, and without prejudice.

Take a moment to meditate on these verses: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.” Each line invites us to reflect on our own lives and relationships. Are there areas where we need to cultivate more patience? Are we extending kindness even in difficult circumstances? Let’s picture a young child learning to ride a bike, falling and getting back up again. The encouragement from a parent who lovingly holds onto the seat symbolizes the faith that love has in our growth.

Today, as you gather your thoughts in morning meditation, consider how love can guide your spiritual growth. Allow it to comfort you in uncertainty and inspire you to act boldly in kindness. Love is not just a word; it is the story we write together with God and each other. Let that story be filled with hope, joy, and encouragement as you embody love in your day-to-day interactions.
