Day 61: 1 Corinthians 13 "Love"

If I have everything but not love, I am nothing.

Love.  the focus of my life this year.  to love others and how to do so.

LOVE:
Patient: answer nicely to my brother, don't be annoyed at him, don't lose my temper
Kind: to my brother play with him, give him the attention he longs for
Does not Envy: don't want what others have; God has so much more for me
Does not Boast: watch yourself, especially as you are graduating
Is not Proud: watch yourself, marks and such (ATTITUDE)
Is not Rude: answer when spoken to (emails too)
Is not Self-seeking: my plans are not for me but for God (and others)
Not easily Angered: don't lose my temper, especially with my brother and when I'm trying to get something done
Keeps no record of Wrongs: forgive and forget (forget as in don't bring it up again to harp)
Does not delight in Evil, but Rejoices with the Truth: oh. open my heart.  don't hide the darkness.  I really need help on this one...
Always Protects: instinct tells me this too.
Always Trusts: my trust does not waver.
Always Hopes: my hope is in God
Always Perseveres: I will not give up on this faith.  EVER.
Never Fails: thats God.  God never fails.

When I was a child, I reasoned, thought, acted like a child.  Now I am a man. [woman].  I will reason, think and act like one.

faith, hope and love.  but the greatest is love.
