love

If I could speak in any language in heaven or on earth but didn’t love others, I would only be making meaningless noise……and if I had the gift of faith so that I could speak to a mountain and make it move, without love I would be no good to anybody. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my own body, I could boast about it, but if I didn’t love others, I would be of no value whatsoever.

Love is patient and kind
Love is not jealous or proud or rude
Love does not demand its own way
Love is not irritable and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged
It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.
Love never gives up
Love never loses faith
Love is always hopeful
Love endures through every circumstances.

There are three things that will endure – faith, hope and love
And the greatest of these is love

Today I feel God is speaking to me about Love.
I went through a moment when I felt so confused about myself and someone else and frustrated that the understanding that took time to build suddenly seemed to vanish in those split seconds. To love can be so hard. We can try and try, but by our own strength we are weak. In the midst of it all, I suddenly lost my self identity. But thank God for being around for me. I am weak but he is strong. His voice comforts me like no one else’s voice can. God spoke to me today in the midst of some heartaches. He said “ love like I love you my dear girl…do not be angry, but love like I love you.’ In the little bit of a few minutes, I cried out to God and He answered me like a father teaching and comforting his daughter. I am not perfect and God knew that right before He made me. But I am uniquely formed to be beautiful in my own way. When somewhere along the vase cracks, God repairs…

Someone said this to me before ‘love is not enough’
I think as the bible says, there are 3 things that will endure forever, and the greatest of it all is LOVE. Love will endure if we learn to love like God loves us. I want to love like how God loves me.

Love is patient and kind
Love is not jealous or proud or rude
Love does not demand its own way
Love is not irritable and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged
It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.
Love never gives up
Love never loses faith
Love is always hopeful
Love endures through every circumstances.
