Seriously?

   Today, in the middle of Chambers devotion, he wrote:

   "What difference has my salvation and sanctification made? For instance, can I stand in the light of 1 Corinthians 13 , or do I squirm and evade the issue?"

   So I began to think about the passage that he mentions which says in verses 4,5,6 and 7: 

   "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." (NIV)

   So many times I have read over these verses without much thought, just pausing to think that they sounded nice at weddings, but never stopping to realize that they were meant for me and for today's living as well.

   Then I sit for an hour or so, contemplating what the words might really mean to me, right now, but begin to realize that an hour is not a drop in the bucket as to the time needed to pursue this. So I resolve to spend more time in this study, and then I go off and play tennis.

   Am I really serious about this....I need to be, that is for sure.
