Love is Patient
(February 10th, 2008)

Passage to Ponder...

A common passage heard at weddings:

1 Corinthians 13:4-7...


Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

We are always being told in Scripture to love one another, to show love as Christ did...etc.

We need to be reminded that love is shown by being patient, being kind, being selfless, not angry,
and by not holding grudges.  Love is truthful, provides hope, and builds true Christ-like character.

Practice love.
