FEB. 22 – 1 COR. 13:4-7

2/22            1 CORINTHIANS 13:4-7

Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

LOVE

Love is not bits and pieces of the above.

It isn’t a buffet line. 

Love is all of these things; it is a whole.

We love and we never give up,

Love is patient and kind,

Not jealous, not boastful, not proud, or rude,

Doesn’t demand its own way,

Not irritable,

Rejoices whenever truth wins out,

Never loses faith,

Always hopeful,

And enduring through every circumstance.

This is love.

Godly love. 

Love like this.
