One of the most famous passages in the Bible has to be 1 Corinthians 13. It’s read at almost every wedding. We’ve become so familiar with these verses that we sometimes forget to apply them to our lives. So, I want to challenge you to read through the questions below and let God speak to you about love in your own life:
Am I being patient with my spouse and kids? How about when I’m driving or at the store?
Have my thoughts and words towards others been kind?
Do I compare myself with others and want what they have (envy)?
Am I compelled to tell others about my successes so they’ll think well of me (boast)?
Am I filled with a sense of my own importance (puffed up)? Is life all about me?
Have I brushed others off, interrupted them, or been rude to them in other ways?
Have I been preoccupied with my needs/wants (self-seeking)? Am I serving anyone else?
Has my fuse been short lately? Am I easily provoked?
Am I dwelling on past hurts and having a hard time forgiving? Do I keep a record of wrongs?
Do I get excited when people I don’t like (i.e. politicians) fail? (rejoice in iniquity)
Do I treasure and rejoice in the truth of God’s Word? Or do other things have greater priority?
Am I bearing with difficult people? Do I believe the best or assume the worst in others?
Do I hope God will work and endure until He does, or have I given up on people and written them off?
Father, please help us be biblically loving today!
