What if?

What if?
What if we loved like He did?
What if we prayed for those who hurt us?

What if?
What if we didn't give up on that person?
What if we cared more for others than for ourselves?
What if we stopped wanting what everyone else has?

What if?
What if we didn't strut our stuff?
What if we didn't get a swelled head?
What if we didn't always think "me first"?

What if?
What if we didn't fly off the handle?
What if we didn't keep score of the sins of others?
What if we didn't stop hoping?

What if?
What if we took pleasure in truth?
What if we put up with anything?
What if we trusted God always?
What if we looked for the best?
What if we never looked back but kept going to the end?

What if?
What if, today, I chose to love like He loves me?
(1 Corinthians 13:4-8)
