Previous Daily Devotional About love and boasting… 1 Corinthians 13:4 …it (love) does not boast,… (NIV) Love quiets our heart and mouth. Love humbles us before our God and before others. We are not puffed up when we are within God's love. In love, we do not see how we are better, or bigger, or stronger, or richer, or taller because we are continually expressing our joy in humility. Love engenders humility in us rejecting the idea of being better than someone else. There is no bragging in love because love is "others" oriented. To boast means we are deficient. With love, there is no deficiency, only an overflowing of heart, mind, and soul. When we boast, we ignore others while love is centered on others rather than upon self.
