Not To Be Outdone

What are the limits to how much you are willing to love and honor others? If showing affection were a competition, would you be winning, or would someone be outdoing you?
When it comes to loving one another, we are to outdo one another in expressing our love and in showing honor.
In his letter to the Romans, the Apostle Paul encouraged the church to, “Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.” (Romans 12:10, ESV).
As followers of Jesus, we are called to love one another like family. We are called to outdo one another in expressing love and honor. We are not to be outdone in the way we express God’s love, care, and esteem for each other.
May we live our lives in such a way that we are never outdone in our love and honor of our brothers and sisters in Jesus.
A Collect for the Monday after Trinity Sunday: “O Lord, from whom all good proceeds: Grant us the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may always think those things that are good, and by your merciful guidance may accomplish the same; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
