"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
Jesus spoke these words to Nicodemus, a Pharisee and member of the Jewish ruling council, who came to Jesus at night in Jerusalem, circa 27–28 AD.
Often called "the Gospel in a nutshell" — God's love, the sacrifice of His Son, the requirement of faith, and the promise of eternal life, all in one verse.

"Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;"
Good morning, dear friend. Today's verse from 1 Corinthians 13:4 offers such a beautiful, practical picture of what true love looks like in our daily lives. "Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up." What a challenge and an encouragement this is! Think about your interactions today. Can you choose to be patient when frustrations arise, and respond with kindness instead of irritation? Can you genuinely celebrate the successes of others without a hint of envy? And can you approach your day with humility, simply being yourself without needing to impress or boast? This isn't about being perfect, but about letting God's love work through you. As you step out today, ask the Holy Spirit to empower you to live out these qualities. Even small acts of patience, kindness, and humility can make a profound difference in your world and the lives of those around you. Let love be your guide.
