Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast,
it is not proud.
1 Corinthians 13:4 (NIV)
Jesus, when I see the story of me play out each day, it sometimes makes me wince. I start out as a hero and then in the midst of daily troubles I become the character no one is cheering for. I get impatient, petty, envious, and braggadocios. With a few other disagreeable character traits throw in. May the power of Your Holy Spirit guide me out of my fleshly ways and make my story unfold in a way that satisfies You. And me.
Questions for Pondering…
Why do I keep giving into annoying behaviors when I know I will regret them later?
What are some ways, Lord, that You can help me to live a life that more closely reflects 1 Corinthians 13?
