Love is

17 December 2010.

1 Corinthians 13:4-6 Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right.

Many years ago there was a movie on the film circuit and a line spoken made an impression on many people ‘Love is never having to say sorry’. There are many things that love is and likewise there are many things that it is not, but one thing for sure we as human’s on the earth cannot live without it! Understanding love must take us to the place of honesty, purity and unselfishness, without these three being present we should question whether love is there. When our relationships are honest our intentions pure, and our motives unselfish then we are expressing love, even though we may not be using words.

Even when we view others who do right then we rejoice with them, when we come across kindness and patience being displayed by others, even if it is a customer in a shop, we see love in action. We have all been called to love and to be loved, we should make the way for others to love us, by displaying what love is in us. We all need to unlearn the bad behaviour of the past, to turn away from that one drink to many, the last argument that hurt you worse than you thought. We do this by being patient and kind, tolerant and understanding, not only with others but mainly with ourselves.

Be encouraged today to fall in love again.
