The following is a post that I read tonight from a friend's blog and I could have sworn she was reading my mind...Alas! she was not; however, I found that after pondering what she stated about herself was truly what I felt in my heart. Why is this so?! Why is my (our) sin so great?!
the greatest of these is love
I'm convinced that loving is the most difficult thing to do as a believer. I've struggled with this endlessly. It's easy to serve others out of duty, it's easy to teach others out of pride, it's easy to act like a believer on the outside, to have great faith in God is achievable, but to truly love others and apply love to everything I do is [a whole] other level. My pride, my selfishness, my superficialness, my desire to feel important and significant, all drain my ability to love purely. I'm convinced that the only love I've successfully mastered is the love of myself.
