1 Corinthians 13:4–5 (KJV)
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
I read of an elderly woman who was a shut-in. She said, “I have two daughters who take turns cleaning my small home. One comes and makes everything shine. Yet she leaves the impression that I am an awful burden. But when the other daughter comes, no matter how dull the day or how low my spirit is, she is so cheery that my day becomes much brighter. Above all, she makes me feel that she loves me. They’re both good Christians, but what a difference in their attitudes.”
What about our attitudes when we are helping others? Do we help others grudgingly, making them feel like a burden, or do we demonstrate the love of Christ that leaves them uplifted and blessed?
Galatians 5:22 (KJV)
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Reflection: Duty may make us do things well, but love makes us do them beautifully.
