Here’s some advice from Paul that would greatly benefit every single American citizen today: be honest, and don’t allow yourself to think you are better than you really are. It’s the attitude of the humble. It’s starts by knowing your place, and that only comes from pursuing God. The deeper the pursuit, the greater the humility. The more you learn about God, and experience His presence, the more grateful you’ll be in expressing it to Him (and others). Selfishness is the opposite of love, and Humility is the tunnel that bridges the gap. It (humility) leads you into the endless possibilities that only love can provide. Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less. Never forget that.
3 Because of the privilege and authority God has given me, I give each of you this warning: Don’t think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us.
Romans 12:3
9 Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. 10 Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. 11 Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically.
Romans 12:9-11
