Day 5

Love Is Not Proud

To close out the week:  consider the following paraphrase of 1 Corinthians 13:4-7, written to demonstrate how pride, here called the arrogant, contradicts love at every turn. 
·         The humble can wait patiently, while the arrogant wants it now! 
·         The humble demonstrates kindness, while the arrogant only wants his own needs noticed.
·         The humble are content, not envious, while the arrogant feel they deserve more. 
·         The humble does not act unbecomingly, while the arrogant are rude.
·         The humble shows a servant’s spirit, while the arrogant demands to be served. 
·         The humble are not easily provoked, while the arrogant are quick to take offense.
·         The humble forgive a wrong suffered, while the arrogant can’t rest until they even the score. 
·         The humble rejoice in truth, while the arrogant rejoice in what makes them look good.
·         The humble can bear, believe, hope and endure all things, while the arrogant are usually too self-focused for this.
