…Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. ( 1 Corinthians 13 v.12b)
Put our Gifts to Use in Love – Truth of the Cross:
1. Love expresses (v.4) – Are we patient, kind & lovable? Or proud , ill-treating others.
2. Love concerns (v.5-6) -Are we seekers of our own good? Or care more of our duties. Easily angered? Keep no records of wrongs of others? Rejoice in people’s success & deeds of kindness ?
3. Love perseveres (v.7) – Can we bear insults, abuse ? disappointment? Do we keep people’s wrongs undisclosed while correcting them in private? Trust in His faithfulness & benevolence, patiently wait for Him ? Trust in people’s virtue with positive view ? Do we have hope in everyone? Do we , like our Lord, bearing the unbearable ?

Because of the change in her behavior, the husband’s love for her was rekindled, showing great affection for her. The Holy Spirit turns hatred into love & love conquers all!
