Sunday Reflection (February 2, 2025)
Sunday Reflection upon 1 Corinthians 13:1-13
As finite, limited beings, we are on a journey of grace and love guided by the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit, who forms Christ within us and among us, can turn even the most hardened hearts into vessels of grace and love. If these virtues do not naturally spring from your heart, turn to the Holy Spirit for guidance. The Spirit empowers us to embody the Christian ideal of love and compassion in our words and actions.
When it comes to God’s love, do we truly believe in its power? Do we have unwavering faith in it? We must be vigilant against the world’s influence, which often leads us to think that destructive forces like bombs and weapons are more potent than God’s love. Let us hold onto the hope that God’s love triumphs over hate, malice, evil, and even death in the unfolding of time. As followers of Christ, let us have faith in God’s love, for it is the ultimate force that can transform our lives and the world around us. May love and compassion be the guiding principles of all our values.
