1 Corinthians 13:4-5
4 Charity suffereth
long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity
vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5
Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is
not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
Love does not
focus on me, but on others. Each of these qualities of love is
based upon an affectionate, compassionate, and forgiving attitude
that regards others of value and not just self.
No wonder the old saying goes "The middle of sin is a big
"I"!"
Prayer: Holy God and Sacrificial Father, teach me to notice
others and value them just as you do. I know you loved me when I
was not lovable, and redeemed me when I was not worthy. Help me to
take my eyes off myself and see others as you see them. Through
Jesus I pray. Amen.
