"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. Love never fails"
This morning I woke up to read my bible and after reading this verse came to mind. I wasn't even close to reading this verse but the words started playing in my mind. I guess the Lord knew I needed to hear it. So many times I forget what love really should be and I act all selfish but love isn't a fight. It should be patient, kind, not jealous or boastful. It should never be proud and so on. I pray that the Lord can teach me what love really is. I have such a hard time not being jealous and trying to be patient...but love is wanting what's best for the other person. In everything putting them first, just like Jesus did for us.
"Love is not a fight, but it's something worth fighting for."
Teach me to love
like you do.
Show me what it means,
to always trust, hope and protect.
Help me to be patient and kind.
Never boasting or rude.
Make my love strong and faithful,
teach it to be giving and never jealous.
Show me to love, like you do.
