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.
( 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 *NIV )
Our society today often confuses love with lust. True love,
like the kind God shows toward us, is directed outward toward
others not inward toward ourselves.
Therefore we are to show others God's unselfish love
everyday. For it is written; Nobody should seek his
own good, but the good of others.
( 1 Corinthians 10:24 ) So; Let us not become
conceited, provoking and envying each other.
( Galatians 5:26 ) Instead we should; Be kind and
compassionate to one another, forgiving each
other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
( Ephesians 4:32 )
Also, remember that there is joy to be found in
giving to others without expecting anything in return! After all
that kind of unselfish love is the kind that God fills His
Children with, and expects His Children to show to one
another as well. Amen.
Have a Wonderful Day my friend, and let your love light
shine brightly. For after all; God is love (1 John 4:16)
and you are His Child! So smile it's going to be a good
day indeed!
All My Love & Prayers,
