THE ROOT OF ALL GOODNESS
1 Corinthians 13:1-3
I may speak in the languages of humans and of angels. But if I don’t have love, I am a loud gong or a clashing cymbal. I may have the gift to speak what God has revealed, and I may understand all mysteries and have all knowledge. I may even have enough faith to move mountains. But if I don’t have love, I am nothing. I may even give away all that I have and give up my body to be burned. But if I don’t have love, none of these things will help me.
In 1 Timothy 6:10 Paul wrote, “Certainly, the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.” However in 1 Corinthians chapter 13 he goes on and on about what true love is and does. He clearly demonstrates that love is the root of all goodness.
Make it your mission to show a little love to everyone you meet today.
