God Has Given us His Love as a Gift.

Spiritual Gift of Life 

We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it's serving, then serve; if it's teaching, then teach; if it's to encourage, then provide encouragement; if it's giving, then provide generously; if it's to lead, do it diligently; if it's to show mercy, do it cheerfully.” (Romans 12:6-8, stress mine)

If you look at the things you do, examine the why behind it. this is. How you’ll identify which one you are motivated by.

All these gifts are wonderful and have a place. Some could sound more important than others, but that's not true. It’s just our ego getting in the way.

The Bible says to desire the best gifts, and the best gift is the one you need at the time.

What is the best spiritual gift?

“So you should earnestly desire the most useful gifts. however, now let me show you a way of life that is best of all.” (1 Corinthians 12:31 NLT, stress mine)

Gifts are great, but it’s more important to know how to love. God has given us His love as a gift. we love it because He loved us first. without love all the actions supposed to be gifts are empty.

There’s a reason the following portion of Scripture is so widely known. Love is the best gift. Love is what matters most.

“If I might speak all the languages of earth and of angels, however, didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such religion that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing. Love is patient and kind.

Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. it is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through each circumstance. 

Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special data will become useless. but love will last forever! now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! but once the time of perfection comes, these partial things can become useless.” (1 Corinthians 13:1-10 NLT)

“Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love.” 1 Corinthians 13:13 NLT, emphasis mine)

Seek to love above all else, and the gifts will find their place because God is love.
