Love is not rude. When I think of that word I think of a belligerent drunk guy making his way through a bar full of people making obnoxious and disrespectful comments. But being rude, like anything, can seem more subtle. It may look like a person who quietly shows no courtesy simply by not speaking at all when a “thank you” is called for. Respect and courtesy and politeness seem to be the opposite of rude so that is what we should be striving for in our daily lives. Are we respectful, polite and courteous to all we encounter not matter the situation? If you really think about it, you will truthfully be able to say “no, I am not”. So we go back to prayer in asking the Holy Spirit to give us a heart that is respectful and polite, that will show courtesy to others. With the Holy Spirit within us, we can do it. Just ask.
Romans 12:10 "Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves"
