Romans 12:9-10 NIV
"Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves."
This is difficult to do, to honor others above myself is tough. Too often I find myself in prayers for me, leaving little room for other people. "Quit praying about yourself and spend your life for the sake of others as a bondservant of Jesus. That is the true meaning of broken bread and poured out wine." - Oswald Chambers, Utmost (7/15). Jesus wants me to pray for and serve other people. That is being a humble servant of my Lord Jesus Christ. My Love must be sincere, not done out of obligation, but as a true sense of desire for other people and for my Lord.
Help me Lord to sincerely love others above myself. To truely live out of desire to express Your love. That I may be devoted to my family, my friends, and other people in prayer and in service. To humbly put them above me in my actions and in my available time. To You my Lord be the glory.
