Love as a Measuring Rod

"Love is the measure by which my life will be assessed. Such a measuring rod strips me of any self-importance...it does not seem fair to be assessed on nothing more than the quality of how we have loved others." (p. 32, Bold Love, Allender & Longman)

What matters is how we love. Why can't we get that?

We go around doing everything but. We try to build ourselves up, not others. We try to do important things, not minial ones. Lord forgive us. Help us be ready for the Judgment Day, when you will judge us for how we loved others and You.
