As a popular choice at weddings, most people are familiar with 1 Corinthians 13. But unfortunately, familiarity with that passage can sometimes make us numb to its content.
This weekend -- which is a three-day weekend in the U.S.! -- at least once a day before praying, read 1 Corinthians 13 in its entirety. (It's only 13 verses.) And, while reading, ponder Paul's message of how we should live. If we can successfully follow Paul's advice, even some of the time, we can become closer to achieving peace with God.
(Interesting fact: Wedding ceremonies almost never use the King James Version of 1 Corinthians 13, because the KJV translates the Greek word "agape" as "charity" rather than the more-familiar "love" that appears in modern translations.)
