Lectio: 1 Corinthians 13:8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
Meditatio: Yesterday I focused on a verse in 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 and thought about what Love does. But today, I kept thinking that love never ends. Love never ends, I believe it never dies, it never fails, it continues on. You see verse 8 is telling us that love is uniquely permanent. A few years ago, a friend walked out of my life. My other friends all wondered why I was able to continue to love that person, and I didn't really have an answer, except that love never ends. You see when I said my final good bye to my friend, I told her, if you ever change your mind, I'll be here, ready to pick up where our friendship ended. I then told her I loved her and probably always would since she had played a huge role in my life. That was 6 years ago. But it's true, love never ends.
Oratio: God, your word says love never ends. Help me to grow in love, to be able to show love to others, especially your love.
Contemplatio: Are there people in your life that you need to show love to? What about someone who had done you completely wrong?
