"Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things"
Loving with a Christ-like heart is hard, it ultimately means to sacrifice yourself, your desires, your expectations, and your pride.
Even though society terms this sacrificial love in many different ways, like being whipped, I believe that Christ really calls us to lay down our prides and serve those around us. I realize that its not a battle of who is doing what, or how much someone does, but rather it is a matter of how low one is willing to go for the sake of growing the other.
Sacrifice of the material things is easy, it's the sacrifice of the heart that is hard. And I'm growing to learn about this each day. I am guilty of this. I am guilty of thinking that what I have done can outweigh what my heart hasn't done.
In the end, I don't want to win. I want Christ to have won my heart. Afterall, how can I love others when my heart isn't ready to love how Christ loves?
Love bears all things, all burdens, the weight of the heart.
Love believes all things, that God will come through in the end for what is best for us.
Love hopes all things, that through His undying love that we can hope for an undying love for others.
Love endures all things, through all trials, all temptations, Love can and will conquer all.
"Lord. let me love like you do. It's impossible for me to learn, so God I just ask that you give me a change of heart, one that is ready to lay down my crown for the glory of Yours."
