Our Daily Devotion - “Do everything in love.”

Our Daily Devotion - “Do everything in love.” — What would it look like if every task, conversation, and challenge today were filtered through this simple command?

“Do everything in love.” - 1 Corinthians 16:14

Four words that capture the essence of following Christ—not just in grand gestures of faith, not just when people deserve it, and not even when it feels natural—but in everything. Love is meant to infuse the ordinary and the overlooked, the difficult and the delightful.

When Paul wrote these words, the church in Corinth was fracturing. Believers were choosing sides, flaunting spiritual gifts, and arguing over who was right. There was impressive knowledge, power, and spiritual ability among them—but Paul made it clear that without love as the foundation, it all became empty noise. Love is what gives weight and meaning to our faith, turning even the smallest act into something sacred.

This command isn’t about manufacturing feelings or pretending everything is fine. Love doesn’t ask us to deny pain or sidestep real difficulties. Instead, it offers a deeper way through them. It invites God’s love to flow through us—especially when patience wears thin, when relationships strain us, and when our hearts feel dry or discouraged. Love is not merely something we practice; it is the very character of God, and it’s who He is shaping us to become, day by day.

Today, as you move through ordinary moments—making breakfast, commuting, working, caring for others—look for opportunities to let love guide your choices. In the unseen acts of kindness and the moments where frustration threatens to take over, invite God to help you respond with grace. If a difficult conversation arises, pause and pray for a heart that listens before speaking. If you’re tempted to rush past someone in need, remember that love often looks like slowing down.

We love not because it’s easy, but because we have been loved at our most unlovable. When that truth guides our words, our actions, and our responses, even the most ordinary parts of the day become sacred ground—quiet reflections of Christ’s love at work in us.
