Welcome to this weekend's in touch podcast with Charles Stanley.

Today's podcast focuses on 1st Corinthians 13 to help us learn to interact with difficult people

by resting in the power of God's love.

Love will enable you and me to live a certain way that without love we can't live that way.

We can try to fake it out, but we can't live that way.

Love empowers and enables us to live a certain

way. When I think about it, you have one or two choices in life. You can walk around life

full of anger, bitterness, resentment, hostility, and unforgiveness, just messed up and

frustrated in life and unhappy and no peace, no joy and just making it through life and getting

up on Monday morning and thinking, well, I got another whole week to live. Or you can get making it

got another whole week to live

or you can get up

with the love of God

flowing in your life and flowing through your life.

You know what happens?

It doesn't make any difference how to treat you, It doesn't make any real difference because the source of your joy, your happiness, and your love is flowing from within you. It has nothing to do with how people treat you on the outside.

And so often we think that we love in response to others.

Love isn't just a response, love is an action, love is a choice that you and I make.

And those of us who know Jesus Christ is our personal Savior, we have tapped into that

inexhaustible, infinite resource of the love of Almighty God, which means that

we have a capacity to love, most people will never begin to understand in their whole lifetime.

So notice what Paul begins, how he begins in this fourth verse.
