Jesus crying out from the cross "it is finished" is one of the greatest acts of love ever. AMEN!
Puzzles! Model kits! Furniture! Toys! You buy them, open them and sort out all the pieces only to find 1 piece missing not allowing you to complete the assembly. Frustrating, to say the least. Without the missing 'vital' piece the end product is basically useless. This same thing happens often in our spiritual life. Paul told the Corinthian believers that though they had spiritual gifts, they lacked the main component - LOVE! It didn't matter what length they went to show/share their gift, if love wasn't the impetus, the act itself was shallow or hollow. God's design for us in sharing is always based on LOVE. It is the very essence of who God is. As we go forth this day may love lead and complete our efforts.
Until tomorrow...

"If I give all that I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing." - I Corinthians 13:3
