Being love

Love is patient, love is kind.  1 Corinthians 13:4

In the love chapter, 1 Corinthians 13, gives us new knowledge of what love is and how we can love people well. God is the ultimate example of love and if we reflect on His love that is like a spring board for us to love. If being patient is a virtue that exemplifies love, then that’s valuable to work towards. How has the Lord helped you be patient in your journey? I know for me, God has helped me hold back, instead of speaking my mind, to pray in those moments, out loud if necessary, and that has helped me to calm and handle the conversation better. We know the kindness of God, because He sent Jesus to us, to save our lives. Kindness can be sacrificial as we humble ourselves to help others.

Heavenly Father, thanks for sending Jesus. Thanks for your lovingkindness. Help me to be mindful of being love to those close to me, amen.
