"I am not living in abundance when I am focusing on what I don’t have. The sermon ended with the exhortation that we are to look for those who are lowly and help raise them up rather than to be looking for more for ourselves." What you said here is very quotable and noteworthy.

After a while I started reading I Corinthians 13 and just stayed in that chapter for weeks upon end. I was particularly drawn to the last verse where it says that the three things that remain are faith, hope, and love, but the greatest is love. I knew that my faith and hope seemed rather shaky at the time, but I decided that even if I didn’t have very much of those two things, one thing I could still do was love, and it said right there that love was the most important. I had just lost the love of my life, and missed his love intensely, but I decided that I would reach out to as many people as I could, offering compassion, understanding, and, most of all, love. I think I attended more visitations and funerals than I have in all the rest of my life. I sent cards and made phone calls. I listened. I visited people, and I helped others as much as I could. I don’t think I am in any way remarkable or special for doing this, but it has really changed my perspective on things, and I think this might be example of what you are talking about.
