That's what I sense God saying lately. Been praying about my ministry, Dew Media and just sense that we should put people over their performance. The world emphasises performance a lot, what we are, how much we can earn, our group of friends. All that depends a lot on what we can do. Not who we are.The world has achieved excellence in so many areas - music, media, art, architecture and the list goes on and on. But it has failed miserably in one area - love. Love is so tainted in the world - again, it depends on how we look like, what we can do, how much we earn and who we know!
I feel that as God's children we should focus on loving people the way God does. Unconditionally. And its God's love demonstrated that will draw His children back to Him. We should love and accept people even if they don't meet our 'standards'.
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.
1 Corinthians 13:1-8
