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.
1 Corinthians 13:4‭-‬7 NIV

I was looking at this very popular verse yesterday and I started thinking, this is a description of God’s love for us. The Bible tells us God is Love (1 John 4:16). So, if you read the above verse and replace the word Love with God, and it with He, it reads: God is patient, God is kind. He does not envy, He does not boast, He is not proud. He does not dishonor others,  He is not self seeking, He is not easily angered, He keeps no record of wrongs. God does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. He always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

God never fails, would be the next three words.

This scripture verse is a great one to use for all of our relationships. Love isnt just a word or a feeling, its an ACTION. Every action that is described in the verse was carried out on the cross for each and everyone of us.  Even to His death, Jesus was showing us how great His love is for us!

So, over the holiday season do your best to show people who God really is- LOVE.

With love, dlp
