The Action Word

I suscribe to a daily devotional off www.crosswalk.com and its been a real daily dose of practicality. I got this today and it was too on point not to share. We're living in a very selfish world and too often the christians don't stand out of the pack. But it has been proven that when you put others before urself, God will put you before others that don't. Let's be practical when it comes to love...it is an Action Word.

Enjoy and let the last sentence stick wit you.

Love suffers long and is kind.-1 Corinthians 13:4
Can you imagine the world we would live in if people operated by the principle that says, "Don't look out for your own needs and interests, but for the needs of others"? Yet we live in a culture that tells us to forget about others and to look out for number-one. But we should remember that God's love is patient. And as the body of Christ, the love we have should be patient. Another way to translate the phrase, "Love suffers long" from 1 Corinthians 13 is "Love is long-tempered." This common New Testament term is used almost exclusively in speaking of being patient with people rather than being patient with circumstances or events. Love's patience is the ability to be inconvenienced again and again.
