Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality. Romans 12:9-13
A youth group had finished a full day of yard work at a widow's house. The youth leader reported to the pastor their accomplishments and that the lady thanked the group from the Baptists for coming out. “Did you point out that you weren't Baptists and that you were from the Brethren church?” the pastor asked. The youth leader thought about it and said, “No, I didn't think it mattered.”
And it doesn't.
Could we accomplish more (in any aspect of our lives) if it didn't matter who got the credit? Perhaps, then, we should pray to this end.
One response to “Honor One Another”
Very good words. As believers, we all serve one God and Father of all. We need to give Him the glory, and “Honor one another above ourselves”!
