AGAPE

(These One A Days are added to each day)

She was the town gossip and self-appointed supervisor of the morals of her tiny hamlet - the president of the one-member Every One Should Be Like Me Society.

Sticking her nose into other people’s business she felt was her clarion call. She wasn’t really happy unless she was unhappy.

She was constantly wondering how others could possibly think differently than she did. Her reasoning, of course, was impeccable, because after all she was always right and everyone else was always wrong. A woman with a mission.

Residents in her town became increasingly unappreciative of her activities, how at the drop of a gossipy opinion she could wreck a life or cause a schism, but they feared her enough to practice silence.

However, one day she made a big, big mistake. She chose to accuse a local man of being an alcoholic after she saw his pickup truck parked outside the towns only bar one afternoon. George, a dedicated Christian and man of few words, never said a word in his own defense.

Rather later on that evening he just parked his pickup truck in front of her house and left it there over night. She never gossiped again.

When an individual is infused with agape they do not gossip. They do not grouse and gripe. Nor do they court any other aberration of the human spirit that is prone to hurt another person, for agape means love.

When an individual finally accepts agape for all it is worth, they do not make sucking on lemons a permanent mouth changing aberration.

“Love one another with brotherly affection (as members of one family) giving precedence and showing honor to one another.” Romans 12:10
