@tabitha – I echo this statement “I do not love well. Sometimes I wonder if I even love at all (according to 1 Corinthians 13).” That passage of scripture is overwhelming sometimes. (I’m posting more about that later this week.

In reflecting on all of your comments I think that sometimes my love for others is self-serving. I love to feel like I’m doing good, not because I just genuinely want to love others for no other reason than that I value them.

@tam – you are soooo right about loving and serving the ones those who are easy to love and serve. ouch! ouch! ouch!

ok. brutal honesty here. between loving and serving? it depends. this is terrible and it is something i have recognized and work on very hard. it is easier for me to serve the “lovely”. you know – the grateful. not because they are “grateful” to me or acknowledge my “service”- i could care less about that. but to serve someone who is snotty and somehow feels like it is owed to them – that is hard. but – God quickly and gently convicts me on that and holds up a mirror in front of me. and i guess the same would go for loving. easy to love the lovable.

i have SO far to go.

jenni. this is FABULOUS! love it! i think i do love easier…but i love to “do things” for people…however, i’m not really sure “doing things” for people is the same as “serving”…i do know sometimes i am absolutely too selfish with my time to serve enough. so i’m pretty sure that’s where i need to work the most…serving…THANK YOU! and thanks pete!

Serve beyond what is expected of you
Be honest and dependable all the time

I would say that the above come more naturally to me.

The love one is the one I have to constantly work at. Then again, don’t we all.

I do not love well. Sometimes I wonder if I even love at all (according to 1 Corinthians 13).

Serving is easy for me but I will admit I don’t always do it out of love. Until recently I was doing it out of guilt or obligation.

Well, that’s my honesty for the evening. I think I’m going to go find something else to read that isn’t going to make me think or challenge me. (Just kidding. I like to be challenged so I don’t go stale.)
