“does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;”
More
descriptions of what love is. It doesn’t seek its own pops out to me in a big
way. Love isn’t out for itself. When you love anyone else, it should be solely
for their benefit.
When
you show love to someone, it shouldn’t be about the do-good feeling or the
satisfaction. It shouldn’t be about the praise or the “thank-you”. It should be
simply about a desire to help the other person, and to honor God in it.
True
love is never about yourself. It’s always about the other person. Do I live
like that? Not all the time. Sometimes I
feel as if I’m “sacrificing myself” but I’m really not. I’m doing it because I
must – but that’s not true love. God doesn’t listen to us because he must. He
does because he loves us.
I will
pray for the Lord to pour into me a supernatural love for his people – all of
them – today.
