Charity edifieth

As I've began my "healing process" after my divorce, I set some goals in December, one of which was to serve someone every day. I did good for awhile, but the last couple of weeks I've been complacent and held myself less accountable.

I just flipped open to 1 Corinthians 8:1 "... charity edifieth." The footnote on edifieth read: "Builds up, strengthens, establishes, repairs."

Interesting. I've never thought of the word "edify" that way, and I never thought of "charity" to repair. Perhaps it's time to start focusing on serving again, as I could certainly use a little "repair" in my life.
