1 Corinthians 13:8-13
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies,
they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Reflection
Today’s scripture is a very common scripture reading. We hear it all the time at weddings. The reason for self-feeding is not obligation but love. The only reason to study is to deepen our relationship with God. It is that relationship that leads to spiritual maturity. How is your relationship with God? Does it make a difference to think about the source of our growth is love? What does this mean for you and your relationship with God?
