Today our pastor taught on James One, the "be doers" passage. It was pretty convicting especially as I have been in church my whole life, and I know how to hear a sermon. As a Christian, I need to do more than listen; I need to do. Action is core, and love guides works. So as a bit of a test in how I am doing I took a Scripture passage and replace "Love" with "Melissa" and "it" with "she". I have to say creating it was super convicting; I still have a long way to go.
Melissa is patient,
Melissa is kind.
She does not envy,
She does not boast,
She is not proud.
She does not dishonor others,
She is not self-seeking,
She is not easily angered,
She keeps no record of wrongs.
Melissa does not delight in evil
but rejoices with the truth.
She always protects,
always trusts,
always hopes,
always perseveres.
Melissa never fails.
1 Corinthians 13: 4-8a
Try it out and see how much your love is in action.
