Text —1 Corinthians 13:1-13
Message
Charity is another word for love. A cleric once said, “Rivers do not drink their own water; trees do not eat their own fruits; the sun does not shine on itself and flowers do not spread their fragrance for themselves. Living for others is a rule of nature. We are all born to help others. Life is sweet when you are happy but life is sweeter when others are happy because of you.”
Everything God created gives out something. The essence of our living is to impact lives positively. A man’s worth is not measured by what he possesses but by his donation. Whatever you acquire in this world (certificates, material wealth, fame, and power) will fade into insignificance and be forgotten when you are gone. Charity is like fragrance that permeates the environment. Only the lives impacted with the love of God will live on when you are no more. Write your epitaph in men’s hearts. That is the only way to have a lasting memory. You will only be remembered by what you have done for God and humanity.
