I love doing things well!  It feels good to sit back and see “my creation” (whether it is a sewing project, something that I have cooked, or a child that I have raised).  I must admit, at times I am filled with pride at my accomplishments!  The other day in my personal devotions, I was hit with reality.  In I Corinthians 13 (“The Love Chapter”), I read as Paul said that if I do great things, “but have not love”, I am simply an annoying clang!  My accomplishments, my “great abilities” are worthless.  It is simply and only “love” that is important.  Someone once told me that “all things respond to love”.  In our goal-oriented society, we believe that all things respond to technology, to well-planned programs, to perfection.  But all that is worthless without love.  And it must be the perfect “agape” love of God.  Since the other day, I have been praying that more than anything I show God’s love to others.  My world needs the saving love of Jesus Christ!
