Love > Feelings

Surrender – submit to His will and not your feelings or
expectations.  


Sympathize – rember that everyone is weak and prone to sin; at
the core, they are no different than you.


Survey – put yourself on a shelf, make an effort to get to know
others. Be more concerned to hear their story rather than to tell
yours. Don’t attempt to fix a problem without first validating.


Serve – serving others helps to remove selfishness. Serving can
help to foster community and unity. Jesus set a great example for
us to follow.


Share – sharing helps us remember that we have received in order
that we would give. Sharing breaks greed and opens your heart to
place others above yourself.


Remember, your first reaction is often the wrong one. Pause and
ask the Spirit to lead you rather than your feelings.
