Love and Service

"And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three;
but the greatest of these is love."
Paul tells us this in 1 Corinthians,
But do we really hear his words.
Are we so eager to be better than others,
That we forget that we are commanded to love above all?
Do we desire judgment for others,
But not ourselves?
I fear the answers to these questions.
Christ told us we must be servants,
Not masters.
He washed his disciples feet
To remind them of the grandeur of servitude.
Perhaps we should realize that
The people we pay the least often do the most:
Care for our children; care for our elderly.
Let us love them.
