SIN

1 Corinthians 13:4-5
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,  Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil.

What of Today’s Verse…

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!”

Let us Pray:

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.

Words of Wisdom

SHARE
God guides me in being the best possible help to others.

As I pray for my family and friends, God guides me in being the best possible help to them. As I think about what they may be going through, I gain insight into their experiences, desires, and needs.

I share with others in meaningful endeavors, giving of broad and specific gifts, in focused and inclusive ways. Through what I say and do, I offer encouragement. I respond and contribute with a positive attitude, sharing my thoughts and love, my energy and abundance. Thinking of my family, friends, and neighbours with love and respect, I act with goodwill and appreciation toward all.
 
In thought and in action, I am considerate and generous to others. My good cannot be depleted by giving. The good that I share is returned to me, increased and multiplied.
 
“In everything do to others as you would have them do to you; for this is the law and the prophets.”–Matthew 7:12
