Oddly enough, home is often the most difficult place to be loving! I think the reason for that is we don’t have our guard up when we’re at home. God’s love greets others, and it all starts at home. The love of God is polite and has manners. …(Love) is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Purpose to walk in love and humility and serve others. If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them. Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.įor I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. So when He had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded. Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was going to God, rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself. Jesus left us an example of serving one another through the love of God. When it comes to serving, proud people cannot serve others because they think that serving is beneath them. The Love of God helps us to assess ourselves correctly. Pride is like bad breath, everybody knows it besides the one who has it. The only reason pride lifts you up is to let you down.
Pride is overestimating yourself and underestimating others.
