lacking love

LOVE, a topic I thought I was pretty good at.(see the pride?) then from every side, my quiet time, Sunday sermons, communication between friends, and every other way imaginable, Gods soft, and constant voice is showing me how much love I am lacking "love does not boast and is not arrogant" I've always thought the two were the same and I had both mastered, after all I did not walk around telling everybody how good I was (okay, let me just pause for all of you who remember my infamous little quote growing up "I'm the best" and say this has not even been considered by me until right now, huh, look at that another example of Gods working.) these past weeks God has revealed a little more of my heart to me. What I saw: I am terrible at both! Boasting and arrogance. I thank God for his grace in only revealing to me a little of my heart at a time, lest I become overwhelmed with the blackness of it.
