Love Does Not Seek Its Own
기원후 1세기
ORIGINAL
οὐκ ἀσχημονεῖ, οὐ ζητεῖ τὰ ἑαυτῆς, οὐ παροξύνεται, οὐ λογίζεται τὸ κακόν.
📜 THE VERSE
Love is not rude, does not seek its own way, is not easily provoked, and keeps no record of wrongs.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
How many old grievances am I still keeping in the ledger of my heart?
📝Reflection
The Greek behind "keeps no record of wrongs" is originally an accounting term. Logizetai means to enter into a ledger and reckon. Love does not write the other's faults in a book to be tallied again and again. Even while claiming to love, I had opened an account of grievances and charged interest on it. Love that does not seek its own is love that does not count what it is owed. The moment the tallying stops, a relationship can finally breathe.
