Love Is Not Self-Seeking...

Love is not self-seeking. The NKJV reads: "Love does not seek its own." The NLT says: "It (love) does not demand its own way." The CEV states: "Love isn’t selfish." The MSG puts it this way: "Love isn’t always ‘me first’", The Amplified Bible elaborates by saying: "Love (God's love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking." All of these versions reveal this truth about love - It is not centered in itself! The phrase: "It's not about me..." is most true when talking about love. Love is about the well-being, success and happiness of others. It puts others before self. It yeilds to others, surrenders to others, serves others. Love is not ego-centric. Love is not self-seeking.
