Daily Bible Reflections - February 3,2013


NOT ANY LESS GREAT
 
So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love. – 1 Corinthians 13:13
 
It was supposed to be our pre-Valentine outreach with streetkids from He Cares Foundation. Along the way, they taught us their definition of love.
“Why don’t you want to take a bath?,” one of the volunteers asked one young girl. “Because this is my sister’s dress,” the girl replied.
“I promise not to curse anymore,” said one boy, when we discussed what to do as our Valentine promise.
“Why do they ask for cellophane when they sit down to eat?,” I asked Daryl, the housefather. “Because they want to bring the food to their mother,” he said.
If we judge the topic of love by the amount of attention it gets in songs, movies, books and everywhere else, we can easily conclude that it is the greatest. But “greatest” is not necessarily popular. So on that day in February, I learned the various ways of showing love.
And it wasn’t any less great for being different from what I am used to. Just like Jesus—who offered His life for love of me. Joy Sosoban (jsosoban@gmail.com)
 
Reflection: God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)
 
Dearest Jesus, as You are Love Himself, grant me the grace to show love.
 
St. Blasé, bishop and martyr, pray for us.
