1 Corinthians 13:4

"...love does not parade itself, is not puffed up."

A human who walks in love wants other people to look good. Once the love of Jesus has been made alive in your heart you no longer need the false attention and false love that a big ego needs. You now walk in humility and grace. It's so classy. It's so beautiful. To walk in love is to enable others to be the best they can be, where as insecure, broken people are scared of others looking better than them.

The greatest man who walked the earth knew how to walk in humility, and always put others over Himself: Jesus. Perfect, wonderful, cool and classy Jesus. He was the King who came down to earth from the glorious splendor of His majesty in Heaven, he humbled Himself and became one of us. He walked the earth and then allowed Himself to be humiliated and murdered. He understood that walking in love can make one look like a fool at time. He knew that walking in such an intense love put the whole of humanity before the needs and wants of Himself.

The cool thing is, that when people get a taste of Jesus in you, they will FOLLOW. They will want to be around you, and you will be the coolest in the room. You will draw people to you. You don't need to name drop, talk yourself up, or have a big ego so you are are the big-shot in the room. You won't need it because the person full of love inside of you, Jesus in you, is your quiet head-lifting confidence.
