If it is love….

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

If it is love, it will build and not destroy, because love reflects the very nature of God. Scripture says, “God is love” (1 John 4:16), and wherever love rules, life is restored, relationships are healed, and purpose is strengthened. Faith moves mountains, and hope keeps us steady, but love gives meaning to both and keeps our actions aligned with the mind of God (1 Corinthians 13:1-3).

If it is love, it will not be reduced to lust or selfish desire, because true love seeks God’s will and the good of others. Jesus summarized the whole law in two commands: “You shall love the Lord your God…” and “You shall love your neighbor as yourself” (Mark 12:30–31). This kind of love fulfills God’s purposes, guides our choices, and guards our hearts in righteousness (Romans 13:10).

Prophetic Word: I declare that the love of God will rule in your heart and direct your steps. Every relationship, decision, and assignment in your life will be shaped by divine love, and through it you will walk in wisdom, peace, and victory, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer: Father, thank You for Your perfect love that never fails. Fill my heart with Your love and teach me to love You and others the way You have commanded. Let Your love guide my words, my actions, and my decisions, and let my life bring You glory, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
