"I beg you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ to stop arguing among yourselves. Let there be real harmony so that there won't be splits in the church. I plead with you to be of one mind, united in thought and purpose." (1 Corinthians 1:10 LB)
In any argument, our objective should be to love – not win.
It’s much harder to love than it is to simply win, and the truth is, we do “win” when we let God’s love flow through us into any disagreement. Love always wins; God proves the point by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. We’re to not lean on our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5), because what appears to be right could very well be wrong. (Proverbs 14:12) Instead, we’re to rely on the holy logic of Christ, where the interests of others are placed above our own. (PDL Daily Devotional)
This has been such a great challenge for me lately, and it’s so true, we really do win when we lose our self-interest, when our goal is to truly love and be of one mind and we follow His logic over ours. Love always wins.
