Love Gauge
By Rev.
Kenneth E. Hagin
"Love is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the
evil done to it; it pays no attention to a suffered wrong" (1 Cor.
13:5).
Here is the love thermometer - the love gauge! It's very easy to find
out whether or not you're walking in love. When you begin to take
account of the evil done to you, you're not walking in love. As long as
you walk in God and stay full of the Holy Spirit, you won't take account
of the evil done to you.
Through the years when unjust things have happened to me, people have
told me, "I wouldn't take that. I wouldn't put up with that - not me!"
But I just kept my mouth shut and never said a word, smiled, and stayed
happy. Why, I wouldn't take time to deny it if they claimed I'd killed
my grandma! I'd just keep shouting, "Hallelujah! Praise God! Glory to
God!"
I suggest you walk in love, too, toward those who treat you in an evil
manner. If you walk in love regardless of suffered wrongs, you'll come
out on top in the long run!
However, some people will regard your attitude as a weakness. Even
ministers have told me, "There must be a weakness in your character; you
never take up for yourself." No, it's a strength! Love never fails.
I simply refuse to hold any resentment in my heart against anyone.
Confession: I am a love person. Therefore, I am not touchy, fretful,
or resentful. I have no resentment in my heart toward anyone.
