1 Corinthians 13:8 Charity(love) never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

Do you know why I call this devotional indemnity? Part of the definitions of indemnity is a sum exacted by the victor in war as one condition of peace. That price exacted was love. Christ the victor gave His life to win this war and win He did. Peace comes to those who accept the price exacted. God is love, love was the sum exacted, the ransom paid for all who believe.

Today I was empty, void of all consideration as to what to write to you. My mind was on the future. I have a task I am dedicated to uphold and rather than seek today, I sought a sign for that future. Prophecy and knowledge failed me, my gifts were useless to help. So I opened up my heart to seek today and love did not fail me.

Where is your mind? Where is your duty? Where is your responsibility? Are you struggling? So often we look to our gifts, our talents to push thru troubling days. We depend on experience, wisdom, and our understanding to make a way. But love never fails.

Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Christ will not live this life without us, so why do we try to live it without Him?

Love first, everything else follows.
