10 Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. 11 Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit,[g] serve the Lord. 12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. 13 Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep.
This is why we are constantly trying to be like Christ, but there is always work. It is hard for me to get past the first instruction to love. My selfishness gets in the way of my love and keeps me in need of work in that regard. I am also not patient in tribulation and testing. I am impatient and my temper tries to boil over. God, please keep doing your work of sanctification in me and knock off these rough edges.
