Every morning, right before I walk out the door, I like to take a black pen out of my pencil case and draw a small heart on the base of my left ring finger.A small heart.
The heart could represent many things, but for me it is a reminder.
A reminder to do all things out of love, to be more loving. It is a reminder to strive to be patient, kind, non-envious, non-boastful, and basically the definition of love in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
The thing is, I always desire to be loved by other people and often forget to make others feel loved. Whenever I see the heart on my finger, I am reminded of my decision as a Christian to do all things out of love for others.
A heart can represent many things but to me, in this stage of my life, it is a reminder to do all things out of love for other people and be as much a loving person as possible.
