Bless those who persecute you. Don’t curse them; pray that God will bless them. Be happy with those who are happy, and weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with each other. Don’t be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. And don’t think you know it all!
–Romans 12:14-16
I can’t do any of this if I am self-centered, which is always a temptation. As I follow Jesus–who is an embodiment of selfless, other-directed love–I can find the power to do these things. I will fail often but can keep learning. It’s a journey. Lord, help me.
