Love: An intense feeling of deep affection
That is what love is. That is what the love of God is. But love expresses itself in several attributes as well. What are they?
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy.It does not boast. It is not proud.It does not dishonors others, it is not self seeking. It is not easily angered. It keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices in truth.It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perservers. Love never fails. I Corinthians 13:4-8.
When it comes to you and me, how much patience do we have for people. Do we get jealous. Are we prideful. Do we dishonor or put others down. Are we in this life for ourselves more than for others. Do we get angry too quickly. In our minds or hearts do we keep track of all the wrong doings that others have done to us.Do we seek revenge. Are we happy about the evil that we encounter everyday. Do we rejoice in the truth or in the good things in our lives. Do we protect those we love. Do we fully trust God, or those we love. Do we have hope for the best even if things sometimes looks bleak. Do we keep trying to do right even when the road looks to hard.
Are there times when our love...just fails?
Love is many things and so starting tomorrow and for the next few days we will explore some of them. Please come back as we delve into love and what it means to us.
