Billy Graham’s daily devotional October 28, 2016 - Genuine Love

Topic: Genuine Love [October 28, 2016]

. . . being knit together in love . . . — Colossians 2:2

Thousands of young couples go through with a loveless marriage because no one ever told them what genuine love is. I believe we need to read the 13th chapter of First Corinthians, in which the Apostle Paul gives us a definition of love. He says, “Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right.

Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.” If people today knew that kind of love, the divorce rate would be sharply reduced.

Prayer for the day: Lord Jesus, we need Your love and forgiveness in our hearts, if we are to love unselfishly.
