Do
we love God with our heart, mind, body, and soul, and our neighbor as
ourselves? 1 Corinthians 13:4 says, Love is patient, love is kind…
Are
we showing these attributes of God as a sign to the world around us? Here’s a test.
When you are holding a drink in a cup and you are bumped something usually
spills out, right?
What happens when
we’re bumped? You know – when something doesn’t go right or the way you
want – someone makes you mad, etc.. You get bumped. So what comes out of you?
Know this -what spills out of us is
really what is in us!
Finally, brethren,
whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and
if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen
in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you. – Philippians 4:8-9.
Let’s work and focus on what is in us so
we’ll know in advance what will spill out. Amen?
