Romans 12:10 New International Version (NIV)
10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one
another above yourselves.
"He who toots his own horn plays in a very small
band!" A very selfish part of us wants all attention and appreciation to
be focused on what we have done, sacrificed, and accomplished. One of the signs
of spiritual maturity that Paul lists here, however, is a devotion to others
who are our fellow Christians. This means that we genuinely rejoice when others
are honored. In fact, we are even more interested in honoring others than in
receiving honor ourselves.
Thought for today:
Can people count on me to be a devoted friend?
