1 Corinthians 13:4

Love... is not puffed up.


Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

"Puffed Up" can mean arrogant, conceited, haughty. Surely, it would be almost impossible to love under these conditions? Remember Proverbs 16:18? "Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before a fall." Therefore, put off any pride or arrogance that you may have, that you might put on love!

God Bless You!

--TODAY'S BIT OF WISDOM/REFLECTION:

The love of God, with arms extended on a cross, bars the way to hell. But if that love is ignored, rejected, and finally refused, there comes a time when love can only weep while man pushed past into the self-chosed alienation that Christ went to the cross to avert.
