Bearing Others' Defects

January 6th.

"John Wesley writes, 'God is the first object of our love: Its next office is to bear the defects of others. And we should begin the practice of this amidst our own household.' We're all human, with human defects, and sin keeps squirming like the proverbial worm in the apple. Wesley's challenge to live a holy life and to love other people had remarkable effects. Through his small groups, which he called bands, he witnessed countless transformations (AWESOME!)." He stated that "All that a Christian does, even in eating and sleeping, is prayer. Prayer continues in the desire of the heart, though the mind is on other things. In souls filled with love, the desire to please God is a continual prayer."

Read 1 Corinthians 13:4 (the famous lovey-dovey verse) on God's perfect love!!!!!
