*TOPIC: LOVE (Series 8)*
*Scripture Reading:* Proverbs 9:7-8
*"He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot. Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning."*(KJV)
Continuation from where we stopped yesterday. Do you know that proudhearted someone can be easily identified with simple common word *"I"*. For example, you see someone who always uses words like, *DO YOU REALLY KNOW WHO I AM? or, I WILL SHOW YOU WHAT AM CAPABLE OF DOING. or, I WILL SHOW YOU THAT GOD CALLED ME!* You don't need to tell us you're called, it simply PRIDE. Sometimes ago, someone really got me upset badly and out of anger, I said *"DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?* As the fellow was staring at me with bad eye, I heard the Holy Spirit whispering into my ear that: *PLEASE WHO ARE YOU, GO AHEAD AND SHOW HIM WHO YOU'RE.* Instantly, I was ashamed of myself and I felt have disappointed the Lord. Be careful of pride, it lead to no where than destruction.
*6) LOVE IS NOT RUDE:* This kind of love care about others, their costumes, likes and dislikes. It respect the feelings and concerns of others even when they are different from our own. It will never act dishonorably or disgrace another person. In this generation, its other way round. *Though, we still have remnant who still love the Lord and practices His will in their domains.*
According to today's scripture, we can see that its very difficult to correct someone who's rude. The more you try to correct, the more you go deeper in trouble with such person. You can't claim to love and still be rude in almost everything. You can't be corrected or giving spiritual advice, you turn it down and proof your selfish interest point, even with biblical scriptures. This is far from Love. To be continue tomorrow morning by God's Grace. Good morning and do have a great day, peace.
*Prayer Point:* Lord, help me to reflect your kind of person to the world in Jesus name. Amen!
