Want to check out your love life or love-o-meter for others? Francis Chan suggests in his book, Crazy Love, that you insert your name where love or its pronoun are mentioned in I Corinthians 13:4-8. Do that for each phrase as you read aloud this Monday’s passage for meditation.
Dotsy is patient. Dotsy is kind. Dotsy does not envy. (You get the “convicting” idea.)
Love is patient
and kind;
love does not envy
or boast;
it is not arrogant
or rude.
It does not insist on its own way;
it is not irritable
or resentful;
it does not rejoice at wrongdoing,
but rejoices with the truth.
Love bears all things,
believes all things,
hopes all things
endures all things.
God calls us to love. To love Him and others as ourselves. Too often we love ourselves above all else. God measures our lives by how we love. (Chan, 93) How is your love-o-meter looking?
