Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.
WOW, I think that these verses are so easy recited by people and are never really put into thought. Never taking the time to really dig deep into what it is saying. What God is telling us that love it?
I think that love can so easily be just taking for granted and thought to be this warm fuzzy bear. The fuzzy bear is so cozy, there when you want it, doesn't talk, isn't annoying, doesn't disagree if you want to take it outside and throw it in the grass. This is not love.
Look at all the harsh words used to describe what love is not: envy, arrogant, rude, irritable, resentful... and what love is: patient and kind.
What is your definition of love? Are you representing patience and kindness with those who you love? You should be- because that is what God calls you do be doing.
