A more excellent way

Every human being wants to live a good life, the best life possible. However, many of us are tied up with daily chores and struggling to make ends meet. We race through life like a long freight train with many carriages filled to the brim with heavy, useless objects. And we race towards a goal that we don't know what it is. "Some day, some where I'll reach my destination and I'll be happy, full of joy and rest."
S-T-O-P!!! Don't race through life that way another day. There is a better way to live, a more fulfilling and excellent way to live. That way is called LOVE.
Lets read from 1 Corinthians 12:31: "But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way." Paul talks about the gifts of the Spirit in this chapter of 1 Chorinthians. And we do right in seeking the spiritual gifts that God offers. However, there is something that is better, higher and more excellent than healing the sick, speaking in tongues and the other gifts of the Spirit. And that is love. To walk in love is a higher form of life.
I like to read the Bible from different translations, and the Amplified Bible quotes vers 31 this way: "Bur earnestly desire and zealously cultivate the greatest and best gifts, and graces (the higher gifts and the choicest graces). And yet I will show you a still more excellent way [one that is better by far and the highest of them all - love]." Love is the best way, the far better way to live. And this love is found only in Jesus Christ.
"How can I partake in something that is in Jesus Christ?" you may ask. Because when Jesus came to this earth, sent by God, His Father, to redeem mankind from sin and Satans dominion, He came not only with freedom from sin and all its consequences, but with love. "... the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us" (Romans 5:5).
When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, God sheds His love in our hearts. All we have to do, is start using it.
