"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 records of wrongs. Love
does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects,
always trusts, always hopes, always preserves. Love never fails." I Corinthians 13:4-8
This
verse is read at many weddings, even at weddings of nominally religious
couples, because it is so beautiful and majestic!
If
any couple could live up to the standards of this lofty list of loving virtues
they would certainly have an amazing marriage!
For
that couple to attain this idealistic standard it would require them to NEVER fail
to love each other! To never fail in their love for their partner would require
them to ALWAYS be patient, ALWAYS be kind, ALWAYS protect, ALWAYS trust, ALWAYS
hope, ALWAYS preserve and NEVER be envious, NEVER boast, NEVER be proud, NEVER
dishonor, NEVER be self-seeking, NEVER be easily angered, NEVER hold a grudge
and NEVER rejoice in evil!
Who
DOES love that way!
God
does - ALWAYS!
He
loves YOU that much!
He
wants you to receive that love so you can benefit from a love that never fails!
And
He wants you to allow Him love others like that - THROUGH YOU!
Isn't
that GREAT news!
Is
that how you love?
