it's going to be interesting this week as eveythibg is going to be off my iPod (hence the lack of capitals)
love. the thought on the forefront of my mind thanks to a certain someone. what is it? what does it mean? when will I know I really love someone? then God gives me these verses.
the first part opens with how precious love is and how we need it above all things. without it we are nothing. nothing we can do for God is worthwhile without love.
love is patient. I am not.
love is kind. this one word encompasses so much.
love does not envy. no more jelly.
love does not boast. (no making others jelly) I believe there is a difference between boasting and saying something out of delight. mostly where the Gloucester will lie. it needs to lie with God.
love is not proud. along the same lines. the glory is Gods
love is not rude. time to watch my words and actions
love is not self-seeking. for me this means that the focus is never on me, it's always for the betterment of others. this is how God wants us to treat others.
love is not easily angered. watch my temper and how i react.
love keeps no record of wrongs. long memory for some, for mr it jut means forgetting what missiles have been done in the past and focus on the future. no more bringing up the past.
there is so much more to love.
but you see, what I was looking for in love was someone to serve me. this is not the case. love is there to serve others and glorify God. that is where we get our love from. it's epic.
