LOVE
Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor
others, 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. But where
there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be
stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NIV
In this chapter 13 of the
Book of Second Corinthians Paul talks about love. In verse four He talks about
the characters of love, the love which he was talking about is the love of God
in us. This love is patient, like the way God is patient with us. It does not
envy meaning it is never jealous; it is not proud, or boastful.
Love does not dishonor
others, this means that if you have the love of God in you; you will respect
all people regardless their status in life. It is not self-seeking, in other
words it is not selfish and rude. It is not easily angered, as the Bible says,
"Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry, for anger rests in the bosom of
fools, Ecclesiastes 7:9.
This love of God does not keep
any record of wrongs, but we always struggle in this area of forgetting people
who hurt us in the past. This love does not delight in evil but rejoices with
the truth. The true love of God will always support the truth no matter what
the cost, and it will never support any kind of evil.
This morning, I want to
encourage you to ask the Lord to fill you with His love. If you love
someone, you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost. You will always
believe in him, always expect the best of him, and always stand your ground in
defending him. This kind of love is from God Himself; is the love that Jesus
had shown us there on the cross.
This love of Jesus never
fails, it always comes back to save a lost man from himself. It is the love
that will remain forever after everything has passed away. If you have the love
of Christ in you, you will always treat others like the way they ought to be
treated in life and God will bless you.
