I Must Not be Love

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:[5] It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Observation: This chapter talks about love what it is and what it isn’t. Unfortunately all the things love is not, I am. I find myself being rude at work and sometimes with my wife, I am always looking out for my best interest, I become angry very easily and I do keep records of people that wronged me. The word says God is love and my goal is to become more like Him, yet I keep going in the opposite direction.

Application: I need to calm down and stop letting everything bother me so much. I’m called to love and I need to focus on doing that in every situation. It doesn’t matter what others do to me I’m here to love and be a representative of God’s. I need to get rid of this selfishness and humble myself to others in glory and honor to God.

Prayer: Dear Lord please do a work in me. Calm my spirit and rid me of this anger I feel most of the time and fill my heart with love, the love you desire me to have and that I will represent your Son on this earth and help draw others closer to you.
