Love-A Precious Quality -"LOVE BUILDS UP"

Paul wrote: "Love builds up."  (1 Corinthians 8:1) What does it mean?  In 1 Corinthians chapter 13, which some call the Psalm of Love," he explains how love builds up.  Love seeks the other person's advantage.  Love cares about the needs of others. (1 Corinthians 10:24; 13:5)  And  because it is thoughtful, considerate, patient, and kind, it builds up loving families and united congregations. - Colossians 3:14. 

There are many ways to show love for others, but our love for God is the most valuable and upbuilding love there is.  Why?  Because our love for him unites  us! People from all backgrounds, races, and languages worship Jehovah together serving him "shoulder to shoulder."  (Zephaniah 3:9) Let us be determined to show this precious quality of the fruitage of God's holy spirit every day.
