love day #7

1 Corinthians 13:1
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
.
This verse reminds me of high school band with the most awkward band director ever, Mr. Hunter.  He was a lot of things that I will not go into now but like all band directors he did not like "tacky" music.  It bothered him when we played slightly out of tune or if we played the rhythm wrong.  I remember one period in particular, the drummer in the back was adding his own bit of style to the written music.  Mr. Hunter did not approve of the added personalization of the music so Mr. Hunter made the drummer play the measures as written.  Again and again, and again.
.
When we fail to show love we are like the noisy musical mess that Mr. Hunter couldn't stand.  Our speech may be very educated and formal but without love we are noisy gongs in God's ears.
.
Let's show love and may our love be a beautiful melody to God's ears today.
