1 Corinthians 14:1 Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

Continue to look for that love which Christ has shown to us and which Christ promotes; it is truthful and leads to many things.

Is desire then so bad? Desire is another powerful emotion which allows us to focus our minds on things, but can be a distraction if we allow it to be.

Desiring the good things which Christ wants us to focus on is good because we focus more on His needs and not our own wants.

The apostle tells the people of Corinth they should focus on the spiritual gifts so they can see what Christ has in store for them and for others. Follow Christ, with everything!

1 Corinthians 13:13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Love is an amazing thing which will allow you to go so much further in your life when you keep it close.

When we leave love out of it and focus on the things such as practicality or affordability, we lose sight of the things God wants us to watch out for.

Never leave out your faith either, because we need hope in our lives and our faith gives us direction toward that hope.

The hope that Christ gives us is firmly based on love, His love toward us. Unbroken. Unending. Pure.

Romans 12:16 Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.

How many times have you watched someone else mess things up and wondered how much better you would be able to do what they had set out to do?

How many times have you thought you could do so much more than you could actually do, finding out the hard way it was just a dream?

God wants us to be able to do the best we can guiding us and giving us strength and wisdom to do so much more than we can by ourselves, but we must know our own physical limits.

Do not limit God, but know your limits.
