Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
El amor no se enfoca en uno mismo, sino en los demás. Las cualidades del amor se basan en el afecto, compasión y perdón que mira a los demás como valiosos y no solo como objetos de valor para cumplir mis deseos. Cuando uno se ve más importante que los demás se ha perdido en el camino y no puede demonstrar el amor de Cristo.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
True love does not focus on itself, but on others. Each of these qualities of love — patience, kindness, does not envy, does not boast, is not proud, is not rude, is not self-seeking, is not easily angered, keeps no records of wrongs — is based on an affectionate, compassionate, and forgiving attitude that regards others as valuable to us, and to Jesus. Rather than placing value only on ourselves and our desires, we remember how Jesus lived and seek to have a heart like his (Philippians 2:5-11). This kind of love comes from the power of the Holy Spirit within us (Romans 5:5; Galatians 5:22-23). It is part of the Spirit's transforming us into more JESUShaped people (2 Corinthians 3:18). The old saying is true: "In the middle of all SIN is a big I!" When "I" become more important than others, when what "I" want and how "I" win are more significant than what others truly need, then "I" have lost my way and do not display the love of Christ.
Mi oración
Dios Santo, enséñame a pensar y valorar a los demás como lo haces tú. Sé que me amaste cuando no era amable, que me redimiste cuando no era digno. Ayúdame a sacar mi mirada de mí mismo y ver a los demás como tú los ves. En el nombre de Jesús oro, Amén.
My Prayer...
Holy God and Sacrificial Father, please teach us to notice others and value them just as you do and as Jesus demonstrated while on earth. We know you loved us when we were not lovable, and redeemed us when we were not worthy.* So we ask for the Holy Spirit's help in having the heart like yours, as we take our focus off ourselves, and seek to see others as you do. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
