It is well content if the room can but be kept clean for God to occupy as Lord and Master. The inner truth about the humility of love is to be found in its intrinsic greatness. That which is truly great has no need to boast, to puff itself up. It is the small self that is the dwelling place of love which so often puffs itself up. Genuine love, being so great in itself, has no need for self-inflation.
Love has a two-fold vision.
It looks upward into the face of God, whose name is love, and then down into the face of man, whose life is toil and sorrow. Some people think it makes no difference whether they speak bluntly or tactfully, as long as they speak the truth. Paul says the manner of our speech and actions does make a difference. These are the ideas of tact and delicacy, judgment and propriety. They relocate to the shape rather than substance.
