BEING RIGHT
Today's reading: 1 Corinthians 7-8

"Now let's talk about food that has been sacrificed to idols. You think that everyone should agree with your perfect knowledge. While knowledge may make us feel important, it is love that really builds up the church." 1 Corinthians 8:1 NLT

I like being right.

There, I've said it.

Being right makes me feel...well, important as the Word speaks, but also it makes me feel smart, admired, like I'm someone special.

Knowing how very much I enjoy being right, I have to be very careful not to allow being right to override being loving.

I can be both but love is what Jesus asked us to do.

I can be both but love is what will draw more people to God.

I can be both but love is what will make my spirit bear witness with another's.

Love unifies, being right divides.

I want to very carefully watch which one I lean more towards today.
