My church has been hosting a time of renewal with Life Action Ministries. One of our speakers last night encouraged us to write down 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. Every time the verses mention the word love, we were instructed to write our names there instead:
4 Bryan is patient and kind. Bryan is not jealous or boastful or proud 5 or rude. Bryan does not demand his own way. Bryan is not irritable, and he keeps no record of being wronged. 6 Bryan does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. 7 Bryan never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
In our relationships, as Christians, people should see Christ in us.
Putting my name into those verses is a great reminder of how I should be living. Our speaker further encouraged us to write down the verses on a card and place them where we can see them everyday. Reading them to remind us that we are to be “little Christs”.
