Ever met a
know-it-all? Obnoxious, right? I do not try to come across as a know-it-all,
but I have been accused of it a few times. Much more powerful and important is
to be known as a person of love. I am sure we have all met people who preach to
us THE TRUTH without any love. They may have the gift of the Spirit but they do
not have the fruit of the Spirit. Here is St. Paul’s perspective:
“But knowledge
puffs up while love builds up. Those who think they know something do not yet
know as they ought to know. But whoever loves God is known by God” (I
Corinthians 8:1-2)
Over the years I
have learned that love beats knowledge all the time. Charles Swindoll is
credited with this truth, “People don’t care how much you know until they know
how much you care.”
When you fall
into the love of the Divine Lover, your life will turn into a life of love. You
and I know how unlovable we are until we meet Divine Love. Immersed in Divine
Love, Divine love pours out of the pores of our being to all around us.
