1st Corinthians 13:4-7 "Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in truth; bears all things, trusts all things, hopes all things, endures all things."
LOVE DOES NOT PARADE - To behave so as to attract attention; to show off. We as the body of Christ need to learn NOT draw attention to ourselves. As the Word says: don't pray like the heathens do standing on the corner - waiting to be noticed. Don't ever think your better than ANYONE. Jesus was actually speaking to the church. They were the ones trying to show off that they could pray better than anyone else. They were trying to seek position in the church. But in the true church- WE as the body of Christ - We are to work together - not parading the gifts God has giving us.
