Such a simple yet complex command. How are we really able to do EVERYTHING in love? It’s humanly impossible, I think. Only with the supernatural strength from God can we operate in the love dimension. Here’s a reminder of what love is. 1 Corinthians 13:4 Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn't want what it doesn't have. Love doesn't strut, Doesn't have a swelled head,5 Doesn't force itself on others, Isn't always "me first," Doesn't fly off the handle, Doesn't keep score of the sins of others,6 Doesn't revel when others grovel, Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth,7 Puts up with anything, Trusts God always, Always looks for the best, Never looks back, But keeps going to the end.
Remember that when I patiently explain things to my kids, I am being love. When I burn the midnight oil on a project, I am being love. When I pray for my friends and family, I am being love. When I exercise self-control over my shopping, I am being love. When I keep my motives in check, and don’t brag, I’m being love. When I respect the position that others take, I am being love. When I keep my anger in check when so and so says I still owe $, when I know I don’t, I’m being love. When I don’t remind my ex about all of the mistakes he’s made, I’m being love. When I speak the plain honest truth, I am being love. When I don’t try to figure out my future, but let God do his job, I am being love. When I see the best in others, instead of assuming the worst, I am being love. When I purpose to move forward in my life, I am being love.Oh Jesus help! You are love. I love love. I love You.
