1 Corinthians 13:4-7

"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."



The world has so many ways of describing and showing love. But, is it REALLY love? In our society today, we use the word LOVE so loosely. "I LOVE this..." "I LOVE that..." But, is it REALLY love? We all tend to fall into the world's ideas of what love is. But, is it REALLY love? The last thing we ever love to for a description of love is the only One we can truly find it from. We don't seem to turn to the only place where we can get a true definition, and example, of what LOVE is! LOVE is more than just a word. It is more than an emotion. Real LOVE is a way of living. In order to really live a life of LOVE, we must devote ourselves to living a life the pleases the Only One who can ever master every aspect of TRUE LOVE! In order to experience what it means to fully LOVE someone we need to learn how to focus more on GOD's example of love and less on the world's idea of love. We need to stop taking love soo lightly because LOVE is sooo much stronger, better, and beautiful than we can ever truly imagine. I know I am SOOO not the love doctor or expert. But, I do know that I am loved by my Almighty Creator. I do know that I am soo not deserving. I can honestly say that LOVE is more amazing than my wildest dreams because if the GOD of the universe can TRULY LOVE someone like ME, than it has to be powerful. I want to learn to be patient, and kind. I want to stop being jealous, prideful, rude, self-seking, or easily angered. I want to erase all records of wrongs. I need to rejoice in the truth. I want to protect, trust, hope, and persevere through CHRIST. Then, and only then, will I be able to love with God's LOVE!

I [am learning to] LOVE you!
