1 Corinthians 13:4-8
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not
boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is
not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love
does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It
always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will
cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge,
it will pass away.
Scripture Message
What
a morning to witness… Sun shining not a cloud in the sky, but on the street…the
biker cursing an older woman because she was “in his way” as he passed with his
middle finger in the air; the homeless streetwise salesman being mocked and
frowned at; the ethnic kids racing down the street excited at their last day of
school and the non-tolerance of their excitement being loudly vocalized as
racial slurs are wielded…all one morning.
Where is the care for those in general?
Where is the love and respect for your fellow man, woman, child…regardless
of who, what and where they are in life?
How
would your heart feel if suddenly you were thrown out of your norm and placed
in a position of need and the world turned a blind eye to you because you are
no longer as you were?
How
are you to judge without the knowledge of the circumstance behind where people
are at the moment they are in. How can you justify the fit of your shoes when
the gentleman standing next to you has none?
How can you not feel the pain of the woman suffering as she painfully
walks down the street just trying to make it to the other side. What has happened
to the hearts of people that they no longer feel a responsibility to keep their
brother? Are we no longer that?
I
challenge everyone to examine the state of your heart and remember as you are
at the moment, may not be the same the next time you gaze in the mirror of your
life. Treat others as you wish to be treated, rediscover the love and respect
for your fellow man.
Scripture Prayer
Father I thank and praise you for
this beautiful day and all that you have shown me. Grab a hold of the hearts and minds of our
people and show them a kinder more meaningful way. Fill them with what they are
lacking so the blessing overflow and fill them with the responsibility to life
another life along their way. Forgive us our short comings father and know we
need the guidance of your word and example in our lives. Keep your arms firmly
wrapped around each of us until your love permeates us so that we have no
choice but to share it, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Thought for the Day:
“Darkness cannot drive out
darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot
drive out hate; only love can do that”
-Martin Luther King, Jr.
