Are You Annoying and/or Pointless?
do you know someone who is always arguing about something–always looking at the negative side of things–always pointing out your flaws?
i do.
i know a handful of them.
they annoy me.
i think they annoy God as well.
1Corinthians 13.1-2 says . . .
1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
two good things–1) speaking in the tongues of men and angels–praying, and 2) preaching–both publicly or privately.
two bad things–1) loud, pointless, annoying noises, and 2) being pointless/nothing.
connecting point: LACK OF LOVE!!!
signs you may lack love:
- griping more than fixing
- pointing more than embracing
- argue more than encourage
- proud instead of humble
- teaching more than being taught
may we NEVER be seen by God as annoying or pointless.
my all that we do be surrounded with a heart AND attitude of love–even our confrontations.
note: please don’t point out my lack of capitalization. i know.
oh–and i LOVE you!
