1 Corinthians 13:5

[Love] does not seek its own.


Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

This is a toughie! "If I don't look out for number one, who will?" Most of us would not admit to owning this sentiment, but it is too common amongst us. Even if we do not consciously think it, it is lurking there in our actions, which speak louder than words, anyway, right? It is easy to take the biggest piece (of whatever), at the dinner table, or take an extra piece, when no one is looking. Ask yourself, whose needs come first, yours, or those around you? Love, of course, dictates the latter.

God Bless You!
