Love Is For Losers?
Now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13
You can learn a lot about a person by what his or her T-shirt says. Recently, one of these messages caught my attention as I walked through a local shopping mall. A young woman wore a bright red T-shirt that said, Love Is for Losers. Maybe she thought it was clever or provocative, even funny. Or perhaps she had been hurt by a relationship and had pulled away from others rather than risk being hurt again. Either way, the T-shirt got me thinking.
Is love for losers? The fact is, when we love, we take risks. People could very well hurt us, disappoint us, or even leave us. Love can lead to loss.
The Bible, though, challenges us to higher ground in loving others. In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul describes what it means to live out Gods kind of love. The person who exercises godly love doesnt do so for personal benefit or gain but rather bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things (13:7). Why? Because godly love endures beyond lifes hurts by pulling us relentlessly toward the never-diminishing care of the Father.
So, perhaps love is for losersfor it is in times of loss and disappointment that we need God the most. Even in our struggles, we know that love never fails.
Unfailing is Gods matchless love,
So kind, so pure, so true;
And those who draw upon that love
Show love in what they do. D. De Haan

Kast, the commanding officer of the Coast Guard Cutter Line, reviews a navigation plan with his crew prior to getting underway for Operation Clear Channel, Friday, July 10, 2009. Operation Clear Channel, an initiative by Coast Guard Sector New York and various outlying units, aims to educate boaters about the dangers if fishing in busy shipping channels within the Port of New York/New Jersey area. The Line, homeported in Bayonne, N.J., is a 65-foot icebreaking tug with missions in icebreaking, search and rescue, law enforcement, and aids to navigation maintenance.
