Love is Building

"Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up." That's what I Corinthians 8:1 (NIV) says.
How is love building you up today?
How are you helping to build others up today?

The Amplified version reads "love (affection and goodwill and benevolence) edifies and builds up and encourages one to grow (to his full stature)." That's a great rendering.

The Greek word there is really active, building, building upon. It's an active process of building upon what foundation has been laid. It's a building process. Like any building process, build on a strong foundation (GOD) and build properly everyday to have any building that will last.
