Show them your Best Side By Elaine Davenport ( Tuesday, July 3, 2007)

The answer to your weights, burdens, pressures, challenges, distractions and whatever name that you call it is Love.

When we were about to leave prayer much earlier today; the good minister gave us some verses to study and meditate upon:

A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this all men will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another."
St. John 13: 34

Then:

Love never fails.

1 Corinthians 13: 8a


When we were growing up; they had this thing called "the dozens." That meant that a person was quick witted and could get you told as they used to say. Later, people called it: "putting you in check." I once knew a lady who was good at it and she would recant stories of how she would put someone in check. She would tell people: "You don't want to see me act ugly." That's funny. People did accept and do accept the fact that they have a public image and a private image that they can let out of a box like Pandora.


That's what the world does. However, for born again believers, we have a directive as you saw above and it says: "Love one another." We can avoid the pitfalls of a split personality where "Pandora" comes out. We can choose to show people our better side all of the time. Make a decision.
